Is Photography in Your Genes?

Even when I was little, I liked to take pictures of people. I remember getting one of those old cameras where the top flipped open and you look down into the viewfinder. I remember taking it on a trip to Crater Lake in Oregon and taking tons of pictures with snow. I had no concept of the difficulties of photographing snow way back then. It was just fun.

On my mission I took pictures of people - people I will always love. That was the best!

Now I take pictures to make money. I still love getting just the right shot, just the right light in the eyes or expression. But where did this love of photography come from? Must be in the genes!
