I love how I can share a moment with a complete stranger, possibly making them feel the same way I did then.

I enjoy many arts, but I've loved photography since I took my first photo with an old instant Polaroid (I was about 4/5yrs old)! I've had all types of cameras throughout the yrs. Digital, manual/film. My phone currently has 11,700+ photos in it, that's not including what I have in hard copies, USB drives or my iPad.
Where do you find inspiration?Everywhere! Nature, loved ones, pets, events I go to. Mostly nature, Ansel Adams was always my favorite. A few yrs ago, visited Yosemite national Park (bucket list place to visit) and was in awe of not just the landscape, but that I was taking photos of the same place my favorite photographer did.
What would you do with $25,000?This is the yr for investing in myself and taking chances, which is new to me. I have a few things in mind. I'd like to start school to get a BS in Marine studies (biology). The end goal, I've always wanted to be an oceanographer since I was about 7yrs old. Also, completed my fine line tattoo course and would like to start doing something with that. There's a camera I've been eyeing. And my vehicle needs some attention, the summers here are brutal.
