My passion for photography started out a few summers ago when I got my tax return back. With the tiny bit of money, I bought a very cheap Point and Shoot camera; a Kodak C330. I took it out and started with the basics: flowers, clouds, and then I did some pictures of my sister's graduation and people around my high school.
After a while, I met my mentor, John De Bord at
www.kkart.deviantart.com. He inspired me to try new things. Get to know Photoshop and all the tools available. After some time knowing him, I took out a small loan and bought my current camera, a Pentax K100D.
I'm still on a quest to develop my skills (is there really ever an end?). I love the adventure so far!
