Fast Food

Growing up my favorite fast food place to eat was Burger King. There were a few reasons why I loved it. First and for most it was close to my house. That was convenient for my parents. This has nothing to do with food but my sisters and I loved the playground they had! It was huge! There was also the added bonus that they had really good chicken nuggets and whoppers! Not that I am 24 I tend to not eat fast food because it will catch up with me the older I get!

Demographic

I was born in 1985, which makes me a part of Generation Y. The research that has been done about my generation almost describes me to a T. The qualities they say we posses are: Impatient, family-oriented, inquisitive, opinionated, diverse, good time management, street smart, and connected. As I have gotten older I have become more patient. However, I will admit that I was very impatient as a young child. Family is very important to me! I always had dinner as a family when I was growing up and I hope to continue that with my children. I think that I am a very inquisitive person; always wanting to know what I can do next. I am very diverse as well as connected. I have Facebook and MySpace and am a part of all different groups. I strongly agree with the research when they say we are street smart. I’ve said from a very young age that I am street smart because I have a lot of life experience that I have learned from. On the other end of that, I strongly disagree with the research that says we are opinionated and we have good time management. I’m very accepting and give everyone a fair chance. As far as time management goes, I’ve gotten a little better since in my 20s.

Voice

I have a strong passion for photography! I fell in love with photography at an early age. Growing up I watched my father take pictures of sports teams, families, children, and many other things. Seeing as though I was very young when photography grabbed my interest, I didn’t know much about it except that it was a lot of fun. My father passed away when I was 13 years old but he left me with an amazing gift. He left me with his passion for photography. That is something I have carried with me but never acted on for 9 years. One morning I woke up and had an epiphany and decided that I wasn’t going to let my father’s spirit die with him. I have my father by my side every click of my camera. He has shown me what is really important to me and what images I enjoy capturing most. Since there is so much history and emotion behind my dreams, I feel it only fits that I enjoy taking pictures of people. I want to capture the emotional; moments in peoples’ lives. I believe that every moment whether it be happy, sad, stressful, angry, affection, or surprise; I want to capture it all.

I have not had many hands on experiences with photography as I am still learning how to technically capture the perfect image. I have not done any fancy photo shoots or anything that I can brag about but I can brag to you that I am learning a lot and very much enjoying myself. My boyfriend and friends have kindly volunteered to be my models so I can get some practice getting more comfortable with my camera and all its settings. I look forward to my future in photography and know that I will soon capture some unforgettable moments!
