It allows me to share my perspective. If you get 10 people to take a picture of the same hillside, all 10 photos will come out differently. Everyone has a different way of looking at things and photography allows me to share my unique perspective.
Photography can take you places that you may have never even thought about going. In the past few years I've had the opportunity to travel to New Brunswick and also to New York. I have never had those kind of opportunities before or since, and I am so grateful that my photography has given me the opportunity to make memories like that.
