I've never really liked photography, I've always just liked drawing and painting better. But taking this class has changed that. I like art because its a way to relax and do somehting fun, that's just for you. I think its a hobby that can help you express yourself. I feel like with my pictures people can see what I like, and know a little bit about me and my life. One constant theme througout my work is angles. I like different points of view, and dicovering new ways to see things. I feel like this relates to my diverse background, and how I've lived in many different places. So I have gotten to see many different things, from a variety of perspectives. I also have high contrast images throught my gallery. I think it's amazing having that dark to light value being shown in an image. I feel like it makes the photo more appealing and eye catching. My familty and hobbies are my inspiration. I like taking pictures of the things that are around me.  So tou would often see my brothers in a lot of my pictures.
