“What really made me start getting into photography was listening to a mentor of mine. He constantly talked about photography. One day ISO, another Aperture, and so forth. So I began to study photography and learn it on my own for a year and surprise him with my new found knowledge along with my new oldie but goodie, Canon Rebel T3 camera.

His response?

“You should of went Nikon”

But all jokes aside, I’m happy that he told me all of those stories that people deemed as boring. It shaped me into the man I am today, a recipient of the gift of photography.”
