What got you into photography?

Well, my mom and dad used to give me and my sister (and later my brother) disposable cameras every year for christmas. and the first time i held a camera, i fell in love. and that was at a very young age. i also used to use my grandpa's polaroid, until i ran out of film. along with my digital blue in 3rd grade. for a while i wasnt that into it, but whenever i saw something cool id snap pictures. then Cheska really got me back into it, and here i am. with my beautiful little olympus e420.

Who's your favorite photographer?

my dad is my favorite photographer, i didnt know until a few months ago that i come from a long generation of photographers and camera-lovers. and weve still got alot of the old cameras around my grandparents' houses. along with the remains of a darkroom and tons of tripods and lenses i use for my pictures today. its awesome.

What does photography mean to you?

to me, photography is an outlet for my emotions. because im terrible at showing them in any other way. photography is like taking our favorite peices of the world, making them perfect through editng, then posting up in as many places as possible for everyone else to see. photography is like taking life, and making it better. because you can take out anything you dont like. and you can make it perfect. photography is a way of identifiying yourself, and showing other people whats going on in your head. and what you are capable of.
