This year's passion project...

Me again! So now I am in Grade 12 (woohoo!), and passion projects have started up once more. This year I have decided to something a bit different... photography! I still love doing art stuff, but I figured it would be nice to try to focus a bit more on yet another of my interests, just to mix things up a bit.

So, about Photography...
I started getting into taking pictures when I was probably around 11ish, and bought a Nikon d3100 at the age of 13 (which was one of the best purchases I have ever made). So I have been into photography for a while, and I have been hired twice in the past year and a bit, although I mainly just do it for fun. But seeing as my obsession with it goes in spurts, sadly, I haven't learned or done as much as I would like... then I figured: what better way to improve and learn that using it as my grade 12 passion project? So here I am, writing my first post of the school year and hoping that this will be as great of an opportunity as I think it will be.

My goals for this semester will not only be to improve significantly with my photography, techniques, and improve my pictures, but also to get a whole lot more experience. Another goal that I hope to accomplish is to research and buy myself a better lens for my DSLR, as the one I currently have only has a 18-55mm zoom, which isn't as much as I would like.

So hopefully all I will accomplish all of my goals, and deepen my love for photography even more while doing so!
