Artist Statement
I had always been interested in photography from a young age but never took the time to actually learn about it. I decided to take a photography class my senior year of high school as a fun way to be creative and learn about a form of art that I have always respected. As I experimented throughout this class, I found that I really enjoy working in the darkroom. It is so cool being able to watch the pictures you took literally appear right in front of you. Doing the work yourself is very rewarding no matter how much time it takes to get a print right. My work has changed as I have learned how to use specific tools and equipment, my images are clearer and more thought goes into each print that I make. In the future, I hope to go more places in order to take really awesome photos. I'm tired of the same scenery.
