About Me.
Hello there, the name's Tanya.
I have a big heart and i have big dreams.
I'm eighteen & currently trying to find myself.
I'm like a good book what can i say; i'm easy to read.
I guess you can say i'm lost, i'm not quite where i belong.
I'm not quite ready to grow up yet, i want to be young forever.

I'm the type of person to stand in the middle of the street and have no fear of dying.

Thee End.

    "Tanya is a charming and beautiful teen photographer with such advanced skills. Her photography has really matured throughout the time she's been a contact and each and every one is just as breathtaking and beautifully finished as the last.

    She's bold, she's brave and she's not afraid to try new things.
    Perfectly made photographer."

    "Nowadays, you only see people's good work. Aтoмic is not different than these people, but she shows us all her work. Her photographs date back to when she first started, and it's clear she's grown as an artist. Her creative mind is definitely in the right place. A lot of her pictures are taken in the same location, her room; but they are all different. She seems to bring the outside world in."

    "I have spent ages trying to figure out exactly what to say about Aтoмic.
    She is Tanya.
    And Tanya Degroot is Tanya Degroot.
    A photographer.
    A friend.
    A human.
    Herself.
    She's certainly not perfect, but her imperfections make her who she is.
    Tanya.

    Love you!!

    "Tanya, Tanya, Tanya...
    How can I explain my love for you in one testimonial?! It's really not possible, but I'll try.
    EVERY.SINGLE.ONE of your photos is amazing. Seriously.
    The black and whites, the high saturations, the blurred backgrounds... SIMPLY STUNNING.
    Everyday when I get home, your photostream is one of the first I look at, and I'm surprised if you don't have a new photo up because you are CONSTANTLY uploading gorgeous pictures.
    When I first added you as a contact, I looked through your photostream and saw a photo about how you really wanted a Canon EOS Rebel, and I really understood that because your pictures were taken with a Blackberry :) But now I've realized that you don't need one. You're pictures are wonderful... No, spectacular... No, BREATHTAKING just the way they are.
    I look forward to everything you have yet to come and I look forward to lots of commenting and much more time of flickr friendship :)"
