Date and location you took the photo(s) I took this photo on the BYU-Idaho Campus 10/12/15
I used a nice Cannon camera for the first time. You can thank the iPhone for that. I really haven’t done any photography before, so this was a great experience. I walked around looking for anything that spoke to me. I laid down in the dirt trying to get those shots nobody has ever seen. I had a great time messing with the camera settings trying to get things just right. All in all, it was a great learning experience.
I feel like photography is a beautiful way to express yourself, to tell your story if you will. As I was taking photos I felt my inner creativity coming to life in beautiful colors. I am excited to get better in this area.
