Photography is everything to me.

Dreams
Ever since I was a little girl I have toted a camera with me everywhere I went.  When I was younger and teachers would ask that all to familiar question, "what do you want to be when you grow up?"  I would always answer, "I'm going to take pictures for National Geographic."  It was all I ever thought about, I would dream about how one day I would be lying in some tall grass waiting on that perfect shot of a Leopard or a cool ass monkey.  Things don't always work out as planned as some of us know.  All I can do now is make the best of how my life has turned out and never give up on my dream, just tweak it a little bit. So maybe I won't work for National Geographic but I can still do what I love..... without pay.  Doesn't make me love it any less.  I wish still that someday, one day, any day, someone somewhere anywhere will see my pictures and love them as much as I do.  Maybe they would see the future in them that I do.  They have a bigger purpose, I know they do.  I am one in a million in a sea of photographers that want, crave to be noticed.  All I can say is NEVER give up.  No matter how many other dreamers are swimming around you...... Stand out.
