Hi, I'm a 19-year-old Christian who loves to appreciate the beauty God has put in the world; thanks for visiting my photostream!
As you may have noticed, I'm an American with a German name and Asian features, although I only speak English.
I love photography but I'm afraid I'm not very good yet...

I am constantly trying to improve my skills to get to where I'd like to be, and I am learning and getting inspiration from many photographers I admire; eventually I'd like to be skilled at conceptual photo manipulations and other kinds of photography.

If you'd like to use my photos, please get my permission first. Thanks. :)
I will most likely be happy to oblige.

If I add you as a contact, it's not because I necessarily want you to add me back, although I'd appreciate that; it's because I particularly like your photos (although there are other reasons as well, such as if I know you personally), so adding me as a contact doesn't necessarily mean I'll add you. Don't take it personally if I don't reciprocate, though - I appreciate the fact that you've added me if you've done so because you like my photostream.
Also, if I drop you as a contact, it's probably because we never really connected; I like having meaningful friendships with fewer contacts rather than having a whole lot of contacts who I really don't know.

I like nice comments and constructive criticism, but please do not leave big, annoying banner award group invitation comments.

I'm not afraid to block you if I feel your photos, groups you're part of, or favorites are objectionable.

My camera kit:
1) Canon EOS Rebel XS

    "I am so happy that I get to be the first to write Maximillian a testimonial! He definitely deserves one.

    He is so unbelievably humble in all the best ways. We have not been contacts for very long, but it has been an honor so far. He is always so kind and supportive of others here, including myself. He leaves encouraging feedback and seems so appreciative of everyone else. My favorite thing about him is that he is so determined to learn all he can about photography and improve. He has goals in mind and he seems very set on accomplishing them, and I know that he can!

    I already think he uses things like light so beautifully in his work and has a great eye for interesting angles. I can not wait to see what he comes up with as he learns even more about post-processing! I hope that he can continue to try portraying emotion through his work... he is such a great friend to have here and I am looking forward to seeing his future work! I am wishing him all the success in the world."
