On Monday I talked about one of my two interests, which was field hockey. My other interest happens to be my major as well; art is my passion. I’ve been making all kinds of art since I can remember. Now a day, I focus my creative eye on photography. I love taken pictures of people, and really try to capture the essence of that person. It’s a lot hard than you may think. I don’t just limit myself to people; I take a lot of pictures of animals as well. When people say the eyes are the gateway to the soul, they are talking about animals. All animals have a pure soul, an innocence, which shines through them all time, and can be beautiful to capture on film.
I started photography my freshman year of high school. I started off on a 35mm camera, very old school. I developed my own film and photos. I love being in the dark room. The atmosphere, the smell. Being able to shape my pictures into what I see with my own two hands. It’s a feeling I will never forget in this digital world. At the beginning I was not into digital photography, it wasn’t until I took advance photography for the second time, (because I wanted to, not because I failed,) that I really figured out my way around Photoshop. Now you can’t get me a way from a computer when Photoshop is open! Photoshop allows me to create things I couldn’t of imagined in the dark room. 
In the future, after college, I hope to own my own studio in a small town in Vermont. A lot people’s response to my career choice is that I better like weddings. The truth is I won’t mind shooting a wedding every month, or taking school, family, pet, or any other kind of portraits you can think of. All I want to do is to take pictures. It’s the only thing that relaxes me. At the end of the day, playing around with my pictures of Photobucket, (it’s a free website, ‘cuase Photoshop cost $700), keeps me sane. It’s something until I get the real thing.
