Photography

Photography is one of my two hobbies (the other being kendo). I've been serious about photography since the summer of 2006: during that time I went on a week-long trip to Europe with my father and traveled by myself to Chicago to see some of my friends. With me on both trips was my trusty Canon Powershot S50. Both trips opened my eyes to the world around me through the lens of a camera. Since those trips I have become increasingly serious about photography; in December 2006 I got a Canon Digital Rebel XTi (400D). Since then, my love of photography has increased exponentially. In September 2007, I co-founded the Photography Club at UF.

Throughout my photographic life, several of my images have been displayed in galleries or published. Those, along with others I am proud of, will be displayed here.
