am a young, aspiring photographer located in Surrey, British Columbia. My dream is to become a freelance photographer selling artistic and innovative prints to a variety of people. I first began my interest in photography in 2008 when, during a trip to New Orleans, my father and I wen t on a fishing trip. My father, a great fisherman and novelist, caught a black drum. He asked me to take a photo of it before he released it, and so I did. The resulting picture won several photo contests. By Christmas of 2009, I seriously began to pursue a career in photography when I received an Olympus E-520 S...

Well, now you know a little bit about how my love of photography began, but what kind of photography do I like? Well, I am still experimenting with my favorite type of photography, but its very difficult for me, as all types of photography interest me. I love photographing wild life, people, events. I like taking modest pictures and manipulating them into interesting and eye-catching scenes, I even enjoy doing classic dark room effects like pinhole photography or photograms (using an enlarger, some glass, and photo paper to create black-and-white shapes).
