it's been one year since I opened this Flickr, and at this year mark, I am now ready for a change. It's not the camera you have that makes you a photographer; it's how you use it and what you bring out of it that makes you one. Those words changed my life and I applied it to every aspect of my life. I've lost friends, I've gained friends and wisdom and realized that it's not about everyone else. i'm still having trouble finding my own self and breaking away from all the others. it's a hard, dirt road that is going to take years to pave and perfect, but i'm willing to at least try and see if I can at least get halfway up the ladder.
