Why I Like Photography

It is an expression of creativity and a forefront of technology!

I love seeing the world through other people's camera lenses. In particular, I like photos of vintage and antique objects, subtle colors, as well as dramatic scenery and captivating portraits. I find it truly amazing how one can capture a memory, moment in time, or even an emotion with just a camera and a lens.

As for my own photos, I enjoy taking pictures of pretty much anything, although I like to try capture objects that correlate with my life in some way. I have yet so much to learn about photography and editing, however, I quite enjoy playing around with my pictures' hue, saturation, and contrast. Please feel free to comment and share your thoughts on my photos, as I appreciate any feedback and advice.

How I Got Into Photography

I have always enjoyed artistic endeavors, from writing and drawing to painting and cooking. In addition and since I was little, my mom was always taking pictures with either her phone or a small compact camera. As I grew older, I began to appreciate all the memories that my mom was managing to capture, and I soon wanted to share in the hobby. Over the years, my parents acquired various digital cameras that intrigued me, however I was truly captivated when my mom upgraded to a Canon 5D Mark II. The technological advancements in the 5D reignited my interest in the digital world and soon I was trying out my hand with one of the previous generation digital cameras that my mom had accumulated prior to the 5D. It wasn't long before I was completely hooked on photography as a hobby!

Additional Information

If you would like to use any of my photographs, I only ask that you first acquire my permission, give me credit in your use, and send me a link to your final work.

Should I add you as a contact, it is due to the fact that you have an inspirational or unusual photostream, and/or if you are a friend of mine. If you are nice enough to add me as a contact, then I will reciprocate on your action :) However, if you are a psycho weirdo who only favorites photos of girls, has inapproppraite content in your photostream, or has no photos at all, you will receive nothing but a sudden and serious block from me.

Thanks and I hope you enjoy looking through my photostream :)
