Motivation

    My favorite things to photograph are landscapes. Nature in general is really amazing, and nothing says art to me quite like the natural arrangements that occur in nature. The vast array of colors, lines, and textures can make some fantastic photos. Besides nature, structures (like buildings and other man-made objects) provide lots of strong lines and often include a degree of symmetry, which can be interesting.
    The number one thing that motivates me to be successful is the quality of my work. I always want to produce something that I can be proud of. I am the type of person that works slowly, and puts in a lot of thought before making a decision, like taking a photo. This leads me to work at a slower pace than most, but typically I adapt to the needs of what I'm doing, in this case taking 45 pictures in 45 minutes. As a teacher, I respond well to constructive criticism, and specific advice. I like to know what it is specifically that I can do better.
