Meet the Photograper

I don't think I've added a picture with me in it yet. Nor have I really given a real background of my photography side. So here it goes.

My name is Samantha and I'm nineteen (and a half, birthday is five months away so that's less than half way... duh). I live in Florida with my sister and (almost) four year old nephew. I moved down about a year and a half ago from Colorado.

 I started photography after one of my neighbors turned me onto it somehow and then the birth of my nephew turned me into the doumenterer (is that a word?? Yes but it's spelled this way documenter, just funner to say it the way I spelled it) of his life and the rest is history.

I have a Canon powershot sx230hs camera along with a DXG 580-V camcorder and some nikon point and shoot pocket camera, plus a canon powershot s95. Both of those however are my sisters', though I use them regularly. I'm in the market for a "new" one. I say "new" because by the time I save up the money it'll of already been a year or so old and could be out of date technology. Hopefully my mom will be getting me one for Christmas though, but she's not the best at getting "big" presents like that, especially when I live 2.5k miles away from her.

I don't go to school for photography so most the stuff I learn is from the internet or just on the go learning. My main subject is my three year old nephew, I also photograph my sister's dog, as well as some nature surroundings. That's pretty much it for now. I live a simple life and take photos....


So here we go... a picture of me.... you guys don't know how hard it is for me to post this, I normally stay behind the camera. But since I know like no one reads this blog I suppose I can make an exception.

 Yes that's me... I know probably not what you were expecting, but is it ever.

 Me and my nephew. Don't worry those two photos were taken the same day.

Ok so maybe I like to wear that shirt a bit too much... But anyway This is me on a pier in FL.
