• Taking pictures is something I put my heart into, its become a part of who I am. When I go out and take pictures I feel like I’m actually good at something in my life for once.. I’ve known that I wanted to be a photographer since I was 6 years old and I know that nothing will change my mind about that. People say that taking pictures is easy now days, but there’s more to taking pictures than they think, I put more thought into it I don’t just push a button down.
