"All art is a kind of confession, more or less oblique. All artists, if they are to survive, are forced, at last, to tell the whole story; to vomit the anguish up."

When i was younger, photography was not something i wanted to do with my life (i wanted to be in the musical cats, that was my goal in life) but as the years went on, i began to take more and more pictures. Through all those pictures, i learned something about myself. I want to be an artist. I want to show the world who i am and what i see. I now want to show everyone the beauty that the word has to offer.

At the age of 15, i have managed to find something i love, something i want to pursue as a career, and something that makes me smile every day. I made a goal, and not only did i achieve that goal, i went above and beyond. Recently i had a local art shop show some of my work, and at the night of the opening i sold my first print. I also had a picture of mine published in Climbing Magazine. I have people contacting me to do pictures. . . and I'm only 15. If i could do something i love at my age, i cant wait to see what my future holds for me.

My name is Michele Krankkala
