Hello, My name is Daymond.
I have been a freelance photographer for 12 years. I never dreamed I would have ended up as a photographer. My journey started in 2002 on a vacation trip to California with my grandmother. Prior to that, I never vacationed with her anywhere. My Mother bought me my first disposable camera. I never understood why would she bought it for me, but she explained, that life is short and you need to cherish every single moment of it. If you have something, you need to share it with someone else. That is where and how the pictures are formed. After the trip, I came home with 3 disposable cameras and had the film developed. They came out AMAZING! My mother said that I was born for this. I was made to be a photographer. During my college years, I began to take more pictures with my family and my circle of friends. My cousin came across my work and she encouraged me to become a photographer. She gave me her digital camera which was my very first DSLR camera. Frankly, I thought becoming a psychologist was my calling. I graduated with degree in psychology but in the end, I never used my psychology for work. I started working as a freelance photographer in 2010 when I met a friend who is a photographer and saw my potential. She took me under her wing as a mentor. She gave me some tips and then some. She taught me a lot of what I needed to take with me as I continued to grow. Along the way, I have had several people asking me to guide them and be their mentor. That is where the idea sparked. I decided to establish this television show called, Click Click Crop and it has continued to grow.
I started this show three years ago as a mock season 1. It was a hit in the Dallas/ Fort Worth area. Dallas is where I was born and raised. People love the idea and asked us to do it again. It warmed my heart to hear and knowing that they shared my vision and passion, I knew I had to continue it for year two, year three, year four and now working on year FIVE in 2024!
Running a TV show cost quite a bit of money. When I started this show I paid for everything with my own money. I did not have any help. Our funding is very low. In order for me to keep the show going, I need your help. The funds will go toward to the show for years to come. It will help to cover important things like our filmmaker, locations costs, clothing, make up artist, hairstylist, costs and all of the vital team members we need as well. Each of them have an important role. I would love for your help and contribution so that our TV show can continue for years to come as we try to expand our audiences.
We would also like to invite our ASL deprived audiences this year and include open captions so that we can share with many of our friends and family as well and that also costs a pretty penny. Every little bit helps. Thank you!
This year we are doing things bigger, bolder, and better. As always we are trying to improve! For season FIVE there are many new twists and more drama in the works. You don't want to miss out. Please help support us in any way that you can. Every dollar counts. Thank you!
