I started pressing the shutter button as a child and always had an interest in photography. I have a close friend who i learned everything from. He convinced me to start shooting with an SLR in the late 90's. I went digital in '05 and the learning curve went through the roof. I think I can be more creative now that i have gone through a trial and error period with the digital SLR. A part of me wont let go of film. I would love to pursue a career in the industry.
