I AM

I am new to photography. I just started less then a year ago and am loving every second of it! I am hungry for more knowledge and experience... so any tips would be GREATLY appreciated! I believe a picture is worth a thousand words and the most incredible photographs capture your heart and captivate your soul.

I have a Nikon D60 with a Tameron 28-300mm len, standard Nikon 55mm 1.8f, and a Sigma 10-20mm.

I'm currently a student and work at a mental health treatment center. I work a lot so I stay pretty busy. I still try to find time to travel and photograph. In the end I want to retire, be an author and a professor and hide away in the wilderness with my hubby.

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so

remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight

with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things

an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.
