Photography is a part of me. I loved taking pictures even as a kid. I won a photography competition when I was in 2nd grade and I was hooked. My Uncle Mike gave me (yes I said gave) me a SLR when we were on a visit. As soon as he found out I was interested and going to be taking photography the next year he couldn't wait to get me all hooked up. I will never forget that he did that for me! I mostly taught myself what I know. I did learn the finer details in class in High School and then more in College. I went to school for Photography and Graphic Design. I still feel like what I learned on my own has impacted how I take photos more than what I learned in class... though input from others, and practice makes perfect. I still look for ways to improve all the time. Right now because life is hectic with a full family and a full time job Photography is more of a hobby. Though I am taking steps to make this more of a living everyday.
I love photography because I can capture a moment in time. I can capture a feeling. It's like being able to show someone something through my eyes.
I look forward to sharing my love of Photography here. What do you love about Photography?
