I'm 19.

Sometimes I feel crazy for pursuing a career in art, but it means so much to me and I'd be a fool to not at least try.

I'm deathly afraid of whales.

I love to look at conceptual photography, but creating it puts me out of my comfort zone. I think being out of my comfort zone helps me to grow.

When I pick up my camera I feel whole.

I want to show people the beauty I see in the world.

I joined flickr so I could begin to get feedback on my work as a way to grow, so any comments would be truly appreciated. The longer I am involved with flickr the more I realize what an incredible community of inspiring artists it really is. I feel lucky to be able to both experience their work and learn from them.
