Why am I here? An introduction to my blog.
So, where to start?
I am a 21 years old male currently living in Quebec City (Quebec, Canada).
Stating here that I love photography would be pretty obvious as it is the main reason I’ve started this blog. How I got to love (and do) photography, though, is a different thing. For some people, everything goes back to when they held a camera in their hands for the first time, and heard the magical snap of the shutter release.
For me, it has been an inner passion for more than a decade. See, i never really did photography or openly talked about it to family and friends. It is something I knew was inside of me, but chose to keep it to myself rather than sharing it…until now.
In 2007, I had the chance to take a black and white photography class in college. This was my first shot at “real” photography. And this is where everything kicked off. I knew I wanted my own camera. Not because I wanted to make it a career. But because I HAD to do photography.
In October 2009, I acquired my very first camera. A Nikon D90 with a 18-105 kit lens. I still don’t plan on making a career out of it. But I do plan on building my lifestyle around the craft. In less than 3 months, this passion has quickly grown into an obsession. And for the best.
This blog is about me. It is about photography. But it is also about who I am, where I come from and what I love.
I am not an artist. I am just an enthusiast driven by his love for an inspiring and wonderful craft.
