I don't think it's surprising for me to say that I love pictures. Just being able to capture what's happening in that moment and having a keepsake from when it happened is so fascinating to me. I've always loved photography and being around a camera, whether it's behind or even in front of, it's just something I've always loved. Growing up, my dad used to take so many pictures of my brother and I, we have a huge box filled with pictures of us from every occasion. I even broke our camera (which my dad is still pressed about) because I was playing with it!
I think this love affair started when I got a Hello Kitty digital camera. It was a really thin camera that looked like a toy, but was a proper camera with 3.2 megapixels (an iPhone 6 has an 8 megapixel camera). Once that became as outdated as it can sound, I upgraded to a purple Nikon coolpix, yes the Ashton Kutcher camera, which broke and then I bought the same exact one again. After that, my family upgraded to another Nikon. After our camera changes and endless iPhone photos, I got my own dslr camera, the Canon t3i rebel and that's when I really thought that photography is one of the most incredible things invented. I started to look at different cameras, polaroids, lomography, film cameras and all that jazz. Recently, I've been loving my 35mm film camera, which is a Pentax k1000. I try and use it as much as possible and even though it seems a little old school, I love how the photos come and how raw they look. I haven't taken any proper photography classes, but I've been teaching myself how to work this old school camera just by practicing and using the camera.
Most of the pictures I've taken below are of my family because they are usually what I photograph and whatever is revolving around us at that point in time. All photos were taken by me with 400 film.
