Tori. March 30th 1995, 14 going on 15. Hawaii. Self-Taught.
Thank you to m j c for the pro account!

I'm not the most original photographer there and I'm quite the beginner. I don't take photography as seriously as I should and I wish I did. I don't have amazing talent with photography or editing it well. I don't really portray emotions and intensity all that much. I photograph many things in life though I would really like to become better at portraits and landscapes. There are many great photographers out there.. if I choose to become a professional when I am older. I am going against many with skill. I don't know if I will make it or if I will continue with photography.

Getting a DSLR would be nice. My current camera isn't horrible or works horribly but I'd like to advance and I feel as if my camera is holding me back a bit. I know, it is both the camera and the photographer but sometimes, it's more the camera than the person. Or maybe I'm not very skilled.

    "So, this is the first time I've written a comment to my friends on flickr..

    Firstly, I want to say, She's having a big talent.. by time after time, the photostream are getting better and better.. and she's friendly indeed.. Which is a great combination between friendly and skillful..

    Then, you guys must be surprised, a 14years old teen can do this all very well, didn't you guys? Well, I think not all the flickrian is surprised, but I did.. So many young photographers, but this one is kind of full of inspiration, and also innovative (like there are some of yours that I think people've never made it before..)

    It's just so Fantastic..

    Well, I think you're tired to seeing this long and crowd space of my writting.. Keep up the good works, Tori.. I'm sure you can do it! :D

    Cheers^^
    Carlos"

    "so i was reading a forum for a group and read that tori has only been doing photography for about two years. i couldn't believe it. i thought she was doing it since the day she was born. when you see her photo's you'll see why. especially because she's so young. she really is an inspiration; being a teen photographer myself."

    "She is a good contact and always a pleasure to view her photos. She used to live here in my home town of Eugene Oregon and now lives in Hawaii where I also have lived for several years. I always enjoy looking at her photos and she gives good feedback on the photos I post. She is wise above her years in age. Have a look through her photos and you wont be disappointed."

    "I think, Tori has just made a mistake. She said, I'm better at photography. False. No way.

    She is a perfect photographer and also a great friend. I'm not surprised that she has much more testimonials than an average person: she is great!

    Well, I don't want you to waste your time with reading my writing, just wanted to say, look at her photostream and you, Tori, keep up the perfect work!

    I'll say only 3 important and true words:

    Tori is Awesome! :]"

    "Her photos are awesome.
    I think she is one of the most gifted young photographer.
    One aspect of her photography that's unique is that she has the ability to transform very normal day to day objects into a piece of art.
    She is very energetic and takes a very active role in all the groups she is a part of.
    Waiting to see some more great shots taken by her.
    Cheers...."
