"Thankful"

I am thankful for many things in my life, but the above photos represent the things for which I am most grateful.

In the middle, a lens cap from one of my camera lenses rests on a table. I love photography in general, and I am thankful to have the opportunity to practice photography regularly. On the bottom right, is a picture of my uncle and cousin. I am very thankful for my family, and they mean the world to me.

On the top right, is a picture of Mrs. Schmidt. Although she can be incredibly annoying :) I am fortunate to learn a lot. Plus, a picture of her snuggling a pinecone is the most accurate picture representing her I could find.

On the top and bottom left are Jenny Merry and Kim Cormier, two professional photographers whom I greatly admire. I am so fortunate to be able to draw from the experience and knowledge of both for photography, and I have already learned so much in so little time, and I hope that I am able to continue learning.  They are both so supportive of me and my crazy ideas of someday becoming a professional, and it is wonderful to have real people like that who don't mind helping 'the little guy,' so to speak.

Happy Thanksgiving!
