My photography career started with a spark when I was 11 years old when my mom handed me her point-and-shoot 35mm camera and said "come back when you run out of film and I'll show you how to change the roll". From then on I have been hooked to a camera ever since, I grew up in my photography in a darkroom and when digital started to become a more affordable medium for photography I started to work with digital but still maintained my roots in the darkroom. I am called strange for not taking advantage of the post editing world we are privy to now as artists but I believe that if I cannot get the photo within my camera I do not deserve to have that photo, which is why I "stick to my guns" about not using post editing in any of my images. Only using the basics I can use in a darkroom will be applied to my own work.
