Forward Step in Photography

I have finally taken that small, but important step in capturing not only places, but people as well. I try to take places where i'd normally like to take pictures of scenery, and then put people in front of these breath-taking views, to aesthetically enhance the overall effect of the pictures. Here are a few of the ones I have collected so far. And along with that, I'd like to thank The Monk Family, along with Shanon, Tori, Brooke, Kaydee, Mercedez, and Ruth for letting me practice my love and passion of photography on their wonderful faces.

Photography?

I like photography. I especially like how you can take hundreds of pictures and then you only have one that really turns out the way you like it.  Which is weird for me, because I'm a very impatient being..... when my camera is not in my hand. Photographs are the best way for me to try and express something through visuals.   They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but I say that a picture is worth as many words as someone is willing to say, which could be 10, 100, or even 435,239. Ultimately, I want to my pictures to all be worth 1 word: Wow.  I know I'm no where close, but I strive for the best, and hope I can eventually come close to just that.
