So you're a photographer...Why?
Well, it's something i always count on making me happy when i need it. It gives me the feeling of creativity, and originality. It never seizes to make me realize how lucky i am to look at things the way i do.
What do you plan on doing with your photography? Any plans to change the world?
I hope to keep exploring the world of photography as long as i live, whether it be a career or a hobby. And yeah, I'd like to change the world one day i suppose, I'm always up for a challenge.
How would you describe your style?
Hmm, well, i never really can categorize my style that well, but my photos consist of nature,portraits,and some journalism i suppose. I really just shoot pictures of anything that interests me. I enjoy shooting film the most, but shoot digital just as much.
Education plans?
If all goes well, I plan on going to a local community college for a year or two, and then transferring out to an art college of some sort.
