mis fotos

I was able to really explore with my camera during my trip. I have never taken a class, but I have always been interested in photography. I would like to think it is a hobby I inherited from my Grandpa Bruce. He loved photography and had his own dark room in his old house in Austin. During one visit during middle school, he lent me 10+ books on photography. Like a gluttonous novice, I eagerly piled them into my arms with full intentions to soak up every nuisance of information. I was a bit too ambitious. I remember getting my first real camera the Christmas of my freshman year of high school, sitting down with him in my room, and showing off my new 35mm. One of the first pictures I took with that camera is one of my all time favorites: it is a black and white photo of King – my dog from four to nineteen years old. He sat staring out onto our backyard. The glass panes of the doors allowed sunbeams to poor in, and the glow around him made him look so calm and regal. No need to ramble on, but it is just a little insight as to why I love the view behind the lens.
