Melanie Ching's photostream  

I don't really feel as though I have much of a story to tell yet, because I'm just at the beginning. A lot of things have happened to bring me to this point, and for every one of those things I am grateful. Right now I'm a woman with a camera, and I'm not afraid to use it.

I cannot really remember when I started being interested in photography, but I grew up around cameras. My Grandpa had an SLR, as did my Mom, and as a result there are a lot of really great pictures of my childhood floating around.

In high school I would lug a camera to every event I could (my favourites were hockey games) and was always proud to see something I shot in the yearbook. While in university I was not able to take many photographs because of lack of time and money, but one of the first treats that I bought myself with money I almost have was my very own SLR.

And so here I am.

I am a passionate storyteller, urban farmwoman, hardcore Canadianist, fervent bookworm, web junkie, girl gamer, bathtub philosopher and unapologetic dreamer.
