I first got introduced to photography when I was 18 years old. At my high school graduation ceremony, my mom gave me a little Canon Powershot point-and-shoot. I never considered photography before in my life, but I was amazed by the power I now held in my hands.
I had the power to capture life around me — to photograph those fleeting moments and make them eternal through my camera.
