Hello, there!

My name is is Mary and I am 16 years old.
I am passionate aobut photography, the culinary arts, and music.

It isn't much, but I use the following to shoot:

Canon EOS 450D (Rebel XSi)
Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS
Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS
Soligor Tripod

I love beautiful wildlife, objects, and, most importantly, beautiful people. My definition of beauty changes daily, and from the uncountable number of portraits I have seen on Flickr, the inward creativity and beauty of a person really translates onto a photo, altering my outlook on their outward look.

I am honestly truly hopelessly inspired by so many of you out there; your work amazes me, and pushes me to attempt a similar concept, or editing style myself, and receive one quarter of the wonderful feedback you do.

If I had favorited your photo(s), this means I truly adore it/them, and if I had added you as a contact, you have become an idol of mine in some way.

Last but not least, thank you so much to all of you who had ever left any trace of feedback on my photos, added me as a contact, or sent me a FlickrMail! Flickr keeps the adrenaline in my blood flowing, and I hope to improve my photographs over time using your wonderful suggestions and/or encouragement.

    "MARY (:

    Where to start? I have had the privilege of meeting Mary during a shoot. Ah she is amazing. Even more amazing than her photographs (not that they aren't amazing themselves).

    She has this magical touch in her photographs which give them a fairytale look. Her photographs are so unique and different. Furthermore, Mary's work with PS has improved so much, gradients are surely Mary's signature effect.

    Mary is probably the nicest person I have ever met, and her photos will never cease to amaze me the way she does ^_^"
