girly side
I am an artist and a photographer. I went to South Highlands Art and Magnet Institute, and that is where my love and passion for art and photography began. When I was 10 years old, my Grandfather, who is also a photographer, bought me a camera for Christmas. I was on the yearbook staff and ran around taking pictures of all of the events. Okay, I was only 11 when this yearbook was in my hands and I wrote "me" in marker, pink of course, by all of the photos of me. Don't hate me for being a girlie girl. The first photograph I remember getting excited about was my friend Donald jump-roping. I caught him in mid-air with this smile on his face. I remembered I was soooo excited that I got that shot. I was really excited when we got to use it for the yearbook. I had poetry and other things published prior to this, but to see that photo in the yearbook changed me. I thought this is the coolest thing - EVER!
That year I also had my artwork picked by the Staff to go on the front cover of the yearbook. I remember they announced it over the intercom, I was sooo tickled.
Boy, what a GREAT year! That was the year that my teachers shaped my life, seriously, I have much love for them. I owe them so much. So as you see, I was in love with art, and photography - BUT when digital photography came out - oh boy - I was in love. Now I can do my art work ON my photos. The digital age has truly changed my life. I am blessed that I can share my love of art and photography with the world, and I am thankful that the world lets me.
