I've loved photography for as long as I can remember. I took it in highschool and sometimes still long to be trapped in a darkroom, seeing what I can create. I guess I'm old fashioned in the respect that I like to be able to physically manipulate, stretch, shrink, and basically create something that could be considered art. I'm still trying to get that same feeling digitally. I, of course, have a loooooong way to go before I can consider myself a photographer, and I'm okay with that. I take pictures for myself. I take pictures to push myself and to change my perspective.
