I got my first camera when I was 7 years old. A small film point and shoot. I always loved having a camera in my hand but was never serious about.

I did some work experience with the local newspapers in high school and even started a course in photojournalism in my early 20's however I got side tracked by life and discouraged by the costs associated with learning with film.
