How did you get into photography?

 

My dad was always photographing something--flowers, landscapes, cars, airplanes... I wanted to be just like him, so I picked up his camera.  He eventually got me my own automatic Nikon 35mm when I was about 7 and I would look forward to the last days of school each year when he'd let me take it in to snapshot my friends before summer vacation.  He always says he couldn't have anticipated how far I'd take photography; I earned my BFA from California College of the Arts in Oakland and continue to pursue opportunities both artistic and commercial in nature.
