My Personal Definition of Photography

What is my personal definition of photography?

Well, according to Wikipedia it is the art or practice of taking and processing photographs. To me that definition says nothing about photography, it is much more than taking a picture and processing it. I am sure my definition of photography well change over time, especially during the course of this class. Right now though, to me photography is capturing a moment in time, from your own perspective, and using it convey a message, whether it be a simple message or a complex one. 

A Short Bio

Lauren Harper

I am sophomore at SCC. I plan to graduate in December and then transfer to a four-year school where I can major in marine biology. 
I currently work at preschool in the infant room. I work with babies from 6 weeks up to a year.
I love just about anything that has to do with the ocean. I am a certified scuba diver. 
Although I have spent my life living in a neighborhood, I consider myself a country girl at heart. I like to hunt, fish and shoot. I'd choose being in the middle of woods over the middle of the city any day.
I am very close with my family, I tend to photograph them often. 
I have a wide variety of interest; be prepared to see an assortment of posts.
