Hi, my name is Amy...

I'm a short (not little ;P) girl with big dreams. And I'm still looking for the courage to pursue them.

I love taking pictures. Ask my very camera-stalked best friends. I'm possibly considering a career in some form of photography (most likely photojournalism), and that's one of the main reasons I want to study the industry for my ISP. That, and, the whole photography's really, really cool part.

Throughout the year, I plan to research and practice different camera techniques, as well as study the different branches of photography. Off the top of my head, I can name photoj, art, food, still life, commercial, portrait, and landscape photography... probably a few more if I bother thinking about it. But I know absolutely nothing about the processes behind the camera, and since I don't want to fail English, I have to change that. This blog will house my endeavors. Oh, and I'm super excited about learning to use a dslr camera. Talk about legit.

But in the end, photography's all about capturing the moment. And an expensive camera is definitely not a necessity.
