You spend more money on photography gear then anything elseYou have a particular field that you love more than the others

When you see a photo of a model, you are more interested in what lighting was used than the way they look

You can pick out the smallest details that others tend to miss

Its not just a hobby, it’s a passion that you absolutely love

I am majoring in photography at Point Park University. I love reading, writing and hanging out with my friends. I would also love to travel the world someday with my camera taking pictures.
