I have always been drawn to photography. It's in my blood. My dad was a better than average amateur photographer who developed his own photos in a makeshift darkroom in our house. I don't know why I waited so long to really delve into it, but I finally did in 2010 and it has awakened a deep desire to capture the images I see in my own perspective. It's like putting my stamp on the world: 'I was here and this is what I saw'! Even before I bought my camera I was like a sponge absorbing as much information about photography as possible every spare minute I had. I checked out every single book my library had on photography and spent hours scouring the internet. I made sure I understood aperture, shutter, ISO, and white balance and how they affect each other before I ever even picked up a DSLR. And when I finally did get one I hit the ground running and haven't stopped since.
