I LIVE HERE IN WESTERN COLORADO AND I APPRECIATE THE BEAUTY THAT THIS STATE OFFERS ONE IN PHOTOGRAPHIC OPPORTUNITIES! MY PASSION FOR THE ART HAS BEEN SINCE I WAS EIGHT WHEN MY MOTHER BOUGHT ME A DECENT CAMERA AND I HAVE BEEN INTO IT SINCE I WAS A YOUNG AGE. I ATTENDED THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF ART IN CHICAGO AND FREE-LANCED FOR NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC AND THAT OPPORTUNITY OPENED MY EYES TO THE WONDERMENT OF THE ART. I KEEP UP ON NEW TRENDS AND TECHNOLOGY AS A TEACHER AT CNCC. WITH TEACHING I ENJOY SHARING MY KNOWLEDGE TO FRESH AND ENTHUSIASTIC STUDENTS.
