As soon as my dad handed me my first digital camera when I was six years old, I instantly became fascinated with photography. I loved the idea of showing others my perspective of the world. Often times, I would take pictures of ordinary places/things. However; afterwards, people would not recognize what I had taken a picture of! I soon started to enter photography contests at school, and after succeeding greatly each school year, I came to the conclusion that I had a natural eye for photography. Yearning to grow my photography, I finally obtained my own DSLR camera in the seventh grade. I had never taken photography classes before, but after experimenting with my camera for quite a long time I finally adapted to it. Ever since I have had my DSLR camera, I have developed a serious love and passion for photography. With each year, my love for taking pictures of people, nature, and animals grows. I absolutely love being able to show others the beautiful aspects of nature, animals, and themselves!
