I started shooting in October of 2004, when I bought my first camera, a Nikon N75. I have a photo printed in the Wisconsin Department of Transportation's Rustic Roads brochure thingy. I shot the picture a week after getting my camera. In February of 2006, I bought a used Fuji Finepix S3100, and my photography really started to take off from there.

I attended the Milwaukee Area Technical College in 2009, where I had hoped to earn a degree in Photography, but I unknowingly suffered from depression at the time. This really impacted my ability to finish my assignments and stuff, and I eventually dropped out due to stress and anxiety.

Unfortunately, photography became a source of anxiety for me, and I became less active on Flickr. This continued for a few years (and still a little today), but I am finally enjoying photography again. :)

I am currently unemployed, but hope to get a job as a photographer or a computer service technician.

NOTE: If you want to use one of my photos on your website or something, please just ask me. I'll probably let you, but if you use one of my photos without asking, I'll more than likely never let you use one of my photos again. I hate finding out that one of my photos is being used illegally on a website. If you want to use it, ask me. Please. It's not that hard to do.
