12/19/2017 0 Comments This is MeHi there! My name is Megan, and I'm currently a senior in high school.
Having grown up with a professional photographer as a father, I'm no stranger to cameras. I spent many years standing to the side, watching as my dad carefully guided people, objects, and equipment in order to snap the perfect shot. For a long time, I was content to be a bystander. However, after observing a wedding photography session this summer, curiosity sparked. I didn't want to be the person simply smiling for the lens: I also wanted to be the person behind it. Watching bridesmaids pose, arms overflowing with flowers; seeing pictures of the bride and groom at the altar, laughing and crying alike . . . these things made me realize that photography doesn't capture still-life's: it captures moments. It takes living, breathing, fleeting memories and gives them permanence. It snatches snippets of the world and brings out their beauty and their significance. A camera, I realized, isn't just a camera: it is a powerful tool . . . one that I want to use wisely. With that motivation in mind, I signed up for my school's Digital Photography course. Aside from photography, my interests are wide and varied. Horror movies are my Achilles heel, and I have a perpetual case of the travel bug. More often than not, you'll find me curled up by the fireplace with either a book or a pencil in hand. My house is constantly loud, filled to the brim with siblings, pets, music, and family game nights. Without a doubt, my most prominent passion is French, both the culture and the language. French Disney songs are superior, and I'm constantly singing them, whether under my breath in the school halls or at the top of my lungs in my kitchen. Down the road, I hope to become a French elementary teacher. :)
