People always ask me how long I've been doing photography...which is a long drawn out answer. I was given my first Mickey mouse 110 camera when I was 9 or so. My mom always asked me why I was on my knees and off to the side when I was taking pictures! Then I got my first taste of 'training' my junior year of high school, with journalism and yearbook, and finally..... I took my first photography class at University of Hawaii in 2000, so there you have it. Never stopped since then.
