I guess you could say that I am a self-taught semi-photographer...I am not perfect and have not fully learned every function on my camera, but I believe that is the beauty of photography. When I think of some of my personal favorite musicians, I do not believe that the art is always in the perfection of something, but that the beauty can also come out through slight imperfections. If it should happen that I capture some form of angst or pain, I tend to leave it...afterall life can not always be bubbles and these photos often exude just a brilliant part of everyday life. I still have a long way to go, but I thoroughly enjoy every part of the learning process. I have an absolute appreciation for the outdoor elements and love capturing those moments on camera.
