I live in western north carolina. I grew up with a 35 mm camera, thanks to my dad. He taught me how a camera works and I still hear him speaking to me when I put my camera on manual. I finally bought the DSLR that I have coveted for too long. I love photographing people, especially children, and the natural world. I am trying to get better at street photography. I just came back to Flickr after an 8 year hiatus.
