The Beginning of Much to Come

I began photography at an age I can no longer remember. Eleven, maybe twelve? I dont know and I will not try to focus on the past. I...can not explain why I love photography so much; it calms me on a bad day, it gives me joy on a happy day and it makes me feel useful. For a girl like me, one who has never exceeded at much and has nothing to be really proud of...it is nice to come home to my camera and know that I can take a picture and have it look good enough to be put...on a website, for example. It is the one thing Im good at and the one pure thing I am happy doing. Photography is not just a hobby, it is my yoga, my mental stretch to get away from all the pain and exhaustion I suffered all day. I'll never know why i have this talent, and I'll never know why this talent brings me such peace, but for now, that doesn't matter. All that matters now is that Im here to show the people my photography, in hopes that, even if they are not partial to the act themselves, they will come to respect it and realize why I love it so much.
