I bought my first camera, a Pentax K-1000 when I was 15 years old
and have been taking photographs ever since. I was lucky in that
my best friend in high school was a professional photographer
who allowed me to follow her around and taught me how to be a
good photographer. I have never been one to read the manual,
just go out and try it.
I took photos for my high school newspaper and senior year was
the Photo Editor. As most busy adults know all too well, work
gets in the way and life and the goal of having a photo of mine
be published in a newspaper by age 30. I took the photos I had
taken and brought them to a local newspaper and actually got
a job as a "stringer" photographer. I had my first
photo assignment ON my birthday (was actually late to my own
birthday party!) and had my first photo in the paper three days
later. (I gave myself a 3-day window so I met my goal) Since
that time I have been a stringer photographer for Pioneer Press
Newspapers, Wednesday Journal and Northwest News Group. |
