I used to be NaysWay. Now I'm D. Marie. You could say I'm going through an identity crisis.

I think.

Given the responsibility of family photo-taker as a child, I've long had a love affair with photography. After hitting the infamous awkward teen stage, I lost my desire to shoot let alone be shot.

I was introduced to Flickr and couldn't get enough of the inspiration throughout the community. I got my first SLR camera soon after, and have been surprised at the renewed interest that's flooded me.

I take photos of my family and my dying city. Both keep me motivated to make something better of my life.
