Photography is something I always come back to in my life.

At age eleven I was able to purchase my first camera--a 35mm SLR. I remember going around taking pictures of everything I saw acting like a "photographer." I'm sure my parents loved whenever I told them I had another roll of film to develop!

Ever since then it has been a life-long love!

These days I pick up the camera when I want to escape from the day to day and become completely absorbed in my surroundings.  Everything else seems to just disappear in those moments.
