You Have Broken The Internet

How I Got Started: "For me, photography started in 7th grade when I was lucky enough to have classes with a darkroom and access to cameras. Shooting and processing film at an early age made me fall in love with the act of capturing a moment. As my photography has changed, grown, and now switched to mostly digital, I still think that the underlying skills I picked up at an early age helped shape the way I shoot and compose shots."
