Artist Statement About Me
I have been interested in photography for most of my early life, an interest that continued to grow throughout my teen and adult years. My first real break came when my parents bought me a digital camera for my high school graduation in May 2006. Even with this new technology, I was unable to really use it until July of that year when my father and I went to the Missouri Botanical Gardens. After spending two hours shooting the daylilies that were in bloom, I came home to discover that I had actually taken some wonderful shots, and thus, I was bitten by the photography bug.
I continue to go to the Botanical Gardens as well as other sites around St. Louis and the surrounding area. Now, I am trying to juggle my time between college and work but still manage to find time to go out and shoot on nice days. Currently, I am exploring film photography as part of an photography class I've been taking as a requirement for my photography major.
In Decemeber 2006, my work was featured on CNN as part of CNN's iReport project. The shot, which can be seen
here was taken during the ice storm that hit the midwest with a fury. After recieving a call at 7am, I was excited to learn that CNN used my photo on their website, as well as on a brief clip that aired that evening. Although they didn't pay, they sent me a lovely shirt that reads: "i Report for CNN".

About My Equipment
For most of my photography I use a Canon Powershot A610. I'm currently using a Bower macro filter with 10x magnification for some of my newer macro shots.
When I'm feeling adventurous, I'll whip out my Nikon N2020 35mm SLR. When using that, I use TriX400 speed film with my 75mm lens.
