Hello,
Ever since I was young I’ve always had an interest in taking photos. I still remember the day my Dad showed me his Olympus 10 film camera, the sound of the shutter closing and opening makes me happy every time I hear it.
I love photography and taking photos because its away of expressing yourself and everyone needs someway of expressing themselves or else you go crazy. The way you think before taking a picture conveying the message/emotions your trying to get across.
I love being outside in the fresh air whether snorkelling in the sea or kayaking down the river below my house. Kayaked down a river after there was heavy rain for 4 days. Pulling thorns out of my head after with pliers from falling trees in the river. I love seeing the force of nature and I love taking photographs of it.
Till the day I die I will always learn new techniques to take better photos. To understand the art of photography and master it in my own way. I would love to get by in life by taking photos or be able to go out to a cliff side, beach, cultured town etc and a take photo that does the place justice then I will be a happy man. Thanks for reading. Michael 284
