As a kid growing up you often idolize the ones around you. In my case it was my father. As a child I remember him always carrying around his old Pentax film camera. Thinking how neat and big it looked as a child, I always was curious about the world of Photography. Finally, around 5th grade I became interested in my surroundings I decided to try to get a school newsletter together. My 1st thing was the photography! So I remember asking my dad if I could barrow his camera. After much begging and pleading he gave him. He gave me a short lesson on how to focus, and zoom and the next day I was out their taking pictures of kick ball games and other kids playing. After a couple of months, my dream faded as I couldn't get enough interest in my "dream" I decided to move on.
Then many years later after mother hood was a big part of my life, I began picking up an interest in cameras again. I remember, scared of what would in tale, I called my dad who gave me great advice; "read, read read" which is exactly what I did!! Now two years in business, I am proud to say that I am a photographer!! And I owe to my dad!!
