I remember this one Winnipeg Bomber game that my mom took me and my sister to when I was around 15, we were sitting in the v.i.p section because at that point my step dad was mascoting as Buzz, and my mom handed over her camera to me and told me to take a picture of her and my little sister sitting on the bench, shaking and not sure how to use this high tech (at the time) camera, my mom told me "just point and shoot." All I can say is that picture came out better then any picture my mom took with that camera. So I guess you can say the interest started there at the back of my mind. But I never really got into photography until high school, in grade 10 and 11 I took yearbook as an option to keep me involved in the school a little bit more. After that I just fell in love with the art. I volunteered with the Winnipeg Free Press student website Extra, and worked with them all of my last year in high school, it was an amazing experience even only using my very little digital camera. Two Christmas's ago my parents went out and bought me a Canon Digital SLR Film camera and told me that I will do wonderful things, ever since that day I can proudly say I am a complete and total shutterbug!! My camera is always within arms reach and my friends know that when it's in my hand I'm in my own little world!
I'm hoping by the end of PrairieViews diploma course i'll have learned everything that I do not know and should know about photography; all the functions on my camera, how to use lighting, even how to pose people properly to get everyone in a photo would be amazing. Anything that the teachers have to teach me I want to and hope to learn!
If I could go back in time the one person I would love to meet would be my Uncle Darren. Okay well it's not that I haven't mett him before but I was 2 or 3 when he passed away and I feel like there is part of me missing. My Uncle Darren was my mom's twin, and all my family keeps telling me when I ask, is how strong of a bond, myself at 2 and him had before he was killed. They said I wouldn't sleep and I wouldn't eat. It was obvious that even at two that man had an imapct on my life. I don't want to go into complete detail about what happend but what I can say is that the love of a family can be something amazing.
My Unlce risked his life and lost it for his little brother..
