Graphic Designer Turned Photographer

June 7, 2010

I am a creative; not a coder. I have no idea the amount of times I told myself that (Twittered and Facebooked it, too). I was stubborn and kept my graphic design gig going. I didn’t listen to the signs coming from my family: “Hannah, you are always on that stinking computer!” “I really need [...]

This probably won’t be as confusing as ISO, you’ll be glad to know.
Composing a photo is just one way you can let your creativity flow. It’s what makes a photo uniquely beautiful. 50 people could take the same photo and not have the same compensation.
