Ever since I was about nine-years-old, I always enjoyed taking pictures. My dad use to be into cameras and would have plenty of them to use when it came to events, parties, and just family photos. After the first camera I used from my dad was ruined from tipping over in a canoe, he bought me a Sony Cyber-shot touch screen. I fell madly in love with it and my friends thought the touch screen was awesome. I used the cyber-shot for a couple of years and even after those years, I still didn�??????????�?????????�????????�???????�??????�?????�????�???�??�?�¢??t really consider going into photography until I met an affiliate of mine, Tiffany @ aestheticintoxication(dot)com. She�??????????�?????????�????????�???????�??????�?????�????�???�??�?�¢??s not a photographer but photography is one of her hobbies. I gradually admired her photos and soon enough I was even more interested in photography. I didn�??????????�?????????�????????�???????�??????�?????�????�???�??�?�¢??t know where to start, so I began Googling �??????????�?????????�????????�???????�??????�?????�????�???�??�?�¢??How to become a photographer�??????????�?????????�????????�???????�??????�?????�????�???�??�?�¢?? and read articles about becoming/being a photographer. Two friends of mine, Tiffany and Sapphire, spent time talking to me about what camera I should get. I debated myself and in the end, I went with the Canon EOS Rebel XS. I thank you both. I found non-professional and professional photographers online and I bookmarked their websites -I check them all almost daily and read one of their newsletters. A week ago, I purchased a book online by Vik Orenstein, The Photographer�??????????�?????????�????????�???????�??????�?????�????�???�??�?�¢??s Market Guide to Building Your Photography Business, on Amazon for $17 (Originally $25), according to the back of the book. So far, so good. The book is in great condition and it honestly answers all the questions I ever had for photography and its business marketing.
Comparing photography to my other hobbies, I really love it. I tried to draw again, but I just couldn�??????????�?????????�????????�???????�??????�?????�????�???�??�?�¢??t come up with anything to draw on the spot. I�??????????�?????????�????????�???????�??????�?????�????�???�??�?�¢??m alright with graphic designing, but not to the point where I make crazy designs that would blow people�??????????�?????????�????????�???????�??????�?????�????�???�??�?�¢??s minds. I�??????????�?????????�????????�???????�??????�?????�????�???�??�?�¢??m not creative enough to go into that field and be time-limited. Don�??????????�?????????�????????�???????�??????�?????�????�???�??�?�¢??t even get me started with website coding. I know the basics and somewhat complex stuff, but there are a lot of things I don�??????????�?????????�????????�???????�??????�?????�????�???�??�?�¢??t know about codes. Photography makes me feel great. Whenever I see an opportunity to use my camera, I get excited and I seriously cannot wait for the moment to come. I can use pictures to express how I feel, record memories and be able to look back, smile, and just reminisce. I want to capture the beauty of nature, people, and just anything I find is worth a shot. People think I�??????????�?????????�????????�???????�??????�?????�????�???�??�?�¢??m creative. I can agree but I most likely beg to differ. My creativity is and has always been limited. As I strive to learn more and experience more with photography, I want to be able to expand my limits to a higher level to the point where I don�??????????�?????????�????????�???????�??????�?????�????�???�??�?�¢??t need to go any further. However, it�??????????�?????????�????????�???????�??????�?????�????�???�??�?�¢??s always good to learn and try new things!

Just for You It seems like it has been forever
Since I have known you.
You lighten up my day, within a wink of a smile.
Although you are far away,
My love for you will endure a thousand miles.
My heart skips a beat, for every word you speak.
By day and night, I cannot sleep.
I lie awake hoping that one day, our hearts will meet...
and dreaming that, that day will come it's way.
As I stand upon my tiny feet, staring at the sky,
wondering where you are, I ask myself, "Does he love me?"
Yet I know I should not ask,
'Cause I know for sure that we were meant to be.
