I have a physical disability that does not allow me to work so I create. I taught myself photo editing and continue to learn new techniques.

Photo manipulation to create beyond border pictures is my specialty. Self taught. I also do other crafts with stones, twigs, leaves, paint, fabric, I work with every type of material to create things. But photography and photo editing are my specialties.
Where do you find inspiration?Seeing amazing photography has inspired my photography since I was a child. I loved seeing different ideas. Came across some pictures called OOB (out of bounds) having people or things looking like they are flying out of the frame. To make a picture look 3D. I signed up for courses but they were so convoluted. So I started teaching myself. Where there's a will, there is a way. Still learning new techniques. Even got asked to teach my photography teacher when he couldn't figure it out in a class.
What would you do with $25,000?Pay bills and take my Dad on a vacation of a lifetime while we still can. Make mine and my daughters life a bit better with some things we need. And put some away to grow interest so we will always have a little in case of an emergency. Living literally month to month on disability, its extremely hard to make ends meet. Some months I run out and have to rely on family and friends for food to get us to the end of the month. Thank God for family and friends.
