About
My love for photography began when I was a kid. My first camera used 110 film, the type that looked like the icon for a cassette tape. I didn't take photos of anything in particular, just what was around me. Most of my photographs contained my family or some sort of scenery.
I will be a graduate of Brown College in April 2012 with my Bachelor's Degree in Digital Photography. My passion is traveling to new places and seeking out the great landscapes that those areas may have. -
