Hanging On A Moment Photography

This section of my website has been the most difficult to write. I{m pretty sure this is my 5th draft, and I{ve started from scratch each time. I{m supposed to write about the type of photographer I am, but to really understand that, I think it{s important to know where I{m from, and what has happened to me so far during my stint on earth that has brought me to where I am now.Then there is a snapshot of me at my sisters wedding. I accidentaly made it into the frame because I happened to be standng behind the maid of honor. (FYI- I designed this outfit from an American Clothing magazine we received as a gift, and my mom took me to see a seamstress who proceeded to butcher my vision)Between birth and the tender age of 10, there are some 20 photos of me in total. Most of them I appear in accidentally (as seen above). As a child, I became quite obsessed with these 20 photos, which I collected myself into a grey album on which I glued black letters to spell out my full name. I scoured the photos of all my extended family to collect most of these. We moved to the United States when I was 10 years old, and low and behold, my parents invested in another camera. This point and shoot camera was just awful. Every photo it took was out of focus and dark and the flash never quite fired at the right moment, but none of that mattered. I snapped photos of everything, and spent every last dime of my babysitting money developing rolls and rolls of film.
