Have you ever heard of the saying "A picture is worth a thousand words"...You can't take a good picture if you don't have anything to communicate! My sister, who now runs a very sickening successful photography business, gave me my first camera when i was three(wish I could find those pics!)I have been completely enveloped since. So, for eighteen years now I have always been behind the camera, taking pictures of everything in sight, but with nothing to tell except that of capturing the moment and being able to return to it whenever desired. From spending time behind the camera and not among the people I was capturing, I lost those moments by secluding myself... And choose only to add to that everyday.
