My father owns a Pentax K1000 camera with which we took all the family photos. When I was 8 years, my father showed me how to operate the camera so that I could take some photos. Since then, I was hooked on photography.
Although, I stopped doing photography for a few years, it was always a part of me and way for me to escape from the hassle of school. Now that I am a 4th year student at the University of Iowa, majoring in Micrbiology Pre-Medicine, I use photography more than ever to relax.
At the same time, I kept hearing how Iowa was so dull and boring. To combat this stereotype, I designed this website to show people that Iowa is not just corn fields. Iowa literally is a field of dreams. It has its own beauty.
With this, I do not see photography as a job or work. Rather I see it as a way of relaxing. I also believe that people should not have to pay an arm or a leg to enjoy what I enjoy. Therefore, I do not believe in charging a hefty price for my photos.
