doesn’t mean a camera takes better pictures or is higher quality
More megapixels = Larger prints

Photoshop It’s not a necessity but it certainly is useful
at times You are able to manipulate a lot of different
aspects of your photo: Brightness, contrast, color

What I like about Photography Basically anybody can do it It helps me take my mind off things
sometimes Gives me a way to express myself, similar to
a person who plays an instrument or draws I like the feeling of satisfaction when I see a
perfect image appear on the back of my camera

Future? At the moment, I’m only planning on
pursuing Photography as a hobby Maybe a possible 2nd job I was contemplating The Art Institute of
Seattle but I’m still unsure
