My name is Mary and I am a teenage photographer.

I don't pretend to be or talk like a professional. I just take joy and comfort from taking photos. It's a hobby that I hope to pursue as a career.

Some of my former subjects have been dolls and Legos, and this year, I want to expand a little. Maybe create something more artistic and imaginative with real people.

I use a Canon Powershot SX120 IS and a Canon EOS Rebel T1i. I'm currently in school.

While you're here I might as well tell you a little bit about myself.

I love rock music, especially My Chemical Romance (hence the screen name; I proudly call myself a killjoy). I love foreign places and cultures and Harry Potter. ^_^

I think of photography as first, and foremost, a way of self expression. I have several ideas (I write them all down in a little notebook for safe keeping) and inspirations that I hope one day I can show through my pictures. Enjoy my stream! I'm an amateur, so I'm open to

advice. ;)
