Hello Steemians, Allow me to introduce myself....

in #introduction7 years ago (edited)

Hey Steemians

My name is Samuel Engelking but everyone calls me Sammy. I'm half Jamaican half German living in Toronto Canada, it is a very multicultural city and I love that you can experience such a diverse range of cultures all in one city. You can be from anywhere in the world and feel at home here. It's rather unique, especially for Canada. That being said I still love to travel and am fortunate as a professional photographer I tend to travel a lot for work.

I've been doing photography for several years now. I love creating beautiful images and meeting new people, its a privilege to have people welcome me into their world for the duration of a shoot. I've always yearned to be able to connect with people and the camera has become a tool to help me do so. Everyone has a story and everyone is interesting and beautiful in their own way.

I'm very passionate about health and fitness, watching my dad slowly pass away from cancer in my mid 20's was devastating and affected me greatly. My mom also had a battle shortly after but survived. Now I study health and nutrition part time and hope to share health related information and recipes on here for anyone who is into it. I'm also big into fitness and self development. Working out is how I deal with stress, sadness or anything negative. It boosts my mood and I just love it :)

hmm what else...I'm also into trying to make dreams come true lol, music, art, beauty, spirituality and making this world a better place through small acts of kindness and self improvement. I joined steemit because it seems like a great place for content creators and a truly unique community still very much in its infancy.I'm super excited to be part of this and so curious to see how it will grow and evolve. Lets connect! :)

With Love,

Sammy

Here a few tips for starters snce you probably won't get any advice from those who comment under here, here's what I gathered thus far.
It's tough to make money at first so if that's your main cause to be on here grind that into your head straight away, that doesn't mean you shouldn't post content, you should, but enganging with others in the comment sections to grow your following is your best bet. Which categories?

Probably the introduce yourself one and the photography section but you can choose things that you have knowledge about too and then go from there just know that there is a lot of crap on here so plowing through that just to connect with others can be tough. Cheers.
