aka: Matrix Photographer

I think it's funny that I am getting a nickname as "The Matrix Photographer" and when it's been said over 5 time's, I guess I'll take it on as a compliment as well. I received this name from using up to 3 cameras at a time at events and I switch to each camera for a different lens effect. Most are awed by this idea and the look of me with all my cameras, one on each shoulder and one around my neck. On many occasions guests come up to me and say "You're like a matrix photographer panning around and switching so smoothly..." while others say "You switch so fast, it's like each camera is mid-air—slow motion— like a matrix!"
Anyway, I actually think it's pretty cool that I'm finally developing my own style and way of photography. Although for me, I feel I am still finding my "style" as I go and sometimes I get worried of what my style is and what isn't. Do I stay the same at each wedding at this point? Or do I try something new, hence my business name? Or is my style the way it is now, in fact, Out of the Ordinary? Yet, I get requests of things I did at previous weddings. So I always wonder, at what point do I stop searching and just improve on my own style? One of these days I'll figure it all out.
