I have never considered myself a "blogger" infact I even hate the word. But here I am! Sucked into the neverending world of computers and their gadgets. I would like to tell you a bit about myself.
I am 22 years old and reside in Connecticut, USA. I used to do some modeling, which is where the name "Payton Guerra" came to be. For some reason I didn't want to use my real name when I started. I had always loved the name Payton, and used Guerra beacause it was my grandmothers last name and have always felt closer to the Puerta Rican side of me :o) The other side is Italian, where my real last name Maida comes into play.
Cheryl Maida is my name - call me what you wish. I have photographers that still call me Payton so its become a part of me.
After deciding to stop modeling I wanted to bring my real name out. I am very proud of my work and have worked very hard to get at the petty level I am today. I am self taught. I have taught myself photoshop litterally through trial and error. I will continue to do this until I have learned all the wonderful tricks :o)
Hm.. I wanted to get the name thing out of the way and I've done that, so I guess this concludes my very first blog entry. I Love you all and hope to get a gallery going on here of my work. Along with updates and even some outtakes.
Much Love,
Cheryl ( Payton )

Aw, girl, I just googled you and found some of your modeling pictures. I never knew you had that much experience! It was very interesting to see you trough some other photographer's eyes, because I've seen you mostly trough your own :) You really have some great stuff both as a photographer and as a model :)
ReplyDeleteLove your photostream, original and creative images. Followed for sometime you will go far. All the best for the future :)
