I've always had a mild interest in photography. Perhaps it started as a child when my father would chase me around with his camera and force the family to watch lengthy slide shows. As I moved to different places and found myself constantly discovering new areas of the world, my interest in photography grew. Only after moving to Pittsburgh and trying to fill the Winter-void between November and March, did I begin to explore photography more abitiously. I still consider myself more of a photographer rather than an artist, but I am working to evolve with the help of the Flickr community.
