My interest in photography started in my freshman year of college when I began taking photos of fungus on my phone. At this time, I wanted to be a microbiologist, and I found that by adventuring into the woods or even taking a walk around my neighborhood, I could find so many different types of fungi blooming everywhere along the ground and trees. Despite my career interests changing from microbiology to marine conservation, my fascination and admiration for the environment continue to grow with each day. I am just an amateur photographer, having only recently started learning how to use my mom's Canon EOS Rebel T6, and I hope to learn as much I can about photography from this course.
