Answering Time!!

Wow, got lots of responses already so I am going to go ahead and start answering! If you have any more questions its still open to ask! Just comment on this post or my last post here. :)

Amber Asked; When did you first become interested in photography and what do you plan on using your skills in photography for? Pictures have always had a special place in my heart! When you travel most of your life and away from friends and family a lot of the time, looking back on the memories documented through photos can be the thing that keeps you going and helps you make it through the lonely times. My older brother is a professional stock photographer so when I was younger I loved to tag along with him when he would go out ands shoot, and ended up falling in love with the photography myself! I've been taking photos ever since. My plans for the future are still up in the air. I would like to start my own business but for the time being I am just taking time to learn and improve as much as I can! I'll just take it a day at a time and see where it all ends up. :)

Also, What do you like about photography and what do you dislike? I like being able to share with people how I view life through my eyes. I like giving someone a beautiful photograph of their children that I know they will cherish for a lifetime. Finding the beauty in the simplest thing. Documenting the journey of life. Dislikes... Hm, can't think of any right off hand actually. hehe.

Lisa Asked;
What was it like, moving to Romania? And what's it like, living there? Moving to Romania, actually, wasn't such a big deal to me. I have traveled and moved pretty much my entire life, its nothing new! Not to mention I'd been preparing with my family to move to Romania for 2 years prior, so when the time came to go, I was totally ready! :) Living here is one of the very best things I have ever experienced. I've seen how different the world is. Learned to be thankful for the smallest things. Been able to be a part of another culture. Seen history still standing. Romania to me is now the place I call home. I truly love it and am so grateful for being able to live here!

Rachael asked;
How long have you been a photographer? I have been taking photos ever since I was young but I didn't get serious about it until 2007! Then in January of 2009 I upgraded to an dSLR and got even more serious about it. Hope that answers your question alright. :)

Do you take photos every day? I try to!! I keep my camera close to me through the day so I can snap photos of whenever the possibility arises. Plus its a way of challenging myself, that every day I will get my camera out and do something that will improve my skill!

What do you prefer to take photos of? Living in Romania, I love taking photos of buildings! With clay tile roofs, brightly colored stucco walls, and unique windows they are so beautiful. I also love taking photos of children (they are so natural in front of the camera!) outdoor cafes, and street signs.

How often do you up-date on your blog?
Whenever I have new photos to share and time to post them! :) I try to post at least 3 times a week.

Tamra asked;
What's your favorite food? As typical as it sounds, I love pizza. Homemade. Gourmet. Take Out. I love it all. Pizza is the best in the world because there are so many options and toppings you can add. I think I could eat it every day and still love it! hehe.

And do you loooove horses? :) Hehe! Actually I do like horses quite a bit, I think they are beautiful and gentle creatures. I was around a lot of horses when I was little, but its been years! So its taking so time to get used to having a horse around again. I forgot how funny they look when they yawn. And how they blow the dust out of their hay when they eat. hehe.

Okay thats it for now! I hope I answered everyones questions. :) And remember, feel free to keep asking! Just comment on this post or my last post that you can find here.
Xoxo,

Ask Me Any Question.

Hey everyone!! First I'd like to say this, in case ya'll didn't know I also have a personal non-photography blog that I keep privet. If you have been visiting this blog and would like to be invited to view it then please just comment and let me know! I'll be happy to invite you. :)

Okay I said that to say this, I was going to do this on my personal blog because its more fitting. But then a lot of my readers couldn't participate in it! So I am going to do it here instead. :)

My sister, Arianna, did this on her blog a few days and it looked like fun! So I am going to do it too. Comment on this post and ask me any question you would like to! It can fall into any category, doesn't have to be about photography. :) Then in a few days or next week sometime I will do a post and answer them!! Okay start thinking about those questions, hehe.
Xoxo,
