There is so much that goes into taking a photo, besides clicking one simple button. I have been snapping photos of family, friends, pets and inanimate objects since I was ten years old. I have over 10,000 photos on my desktop computer, and I always feel the need to take more. It’s both artistic and technical, skills in which I believe I excel in.
