So after about 10 months of familiarizing myself with this art if you may call it I've come to realize that style plays a big role in photography. Most photographers can compose a scene decently, but what sets them apart are the one's that have a style to their pictures that make them so easily recognizable. My growth since I first picked up by camera has been immense and I've learned so much about photography and I'd like to think I've become a better observer too. As a senior in high school as of May 2009 I plan to enroll at Seattle University next year as a Sociology major and hope to also major in photography. In these more recent pictures I've tried to develop a style that makes my pictures recognizable even if you didn't know you were on my stream. Thanks for looking :]
