About Me
My name is James, I'm 15 years old studying Year 11/12 at Open Access College, and Cornerstone College. I live in the beautiful suburb of Glenalta in the Adelaide Hills, with my family and Grand-Parents. My main interests include sport, architecture, meteorology, astronomy, remote control modelling and of course photography! Doing Open Access College has opened my world up to doing a lot more things than the average school student my age. Studying at home gives me more freedom with what I do, and I get spare time to do what I like after I finish my Homework. This freedom has allowed me to dig deeper into my biggest interests which has allowed me to join ASSA (Astronomical Society of South Australia) and study an online course in photography. I have almost finished my "Advanced Diploma in Professional Photography" and when I pass the final test, I will be a certified professional photographer.
Photography is one of my biggest interests and it is very rare for me to go somewhere without the camera bag in the boot (if I don't it's usually from Mum and Dad persuading me I won't need it, or it takes up too much boot space).
I recently took some photos and framed them for my Mum to give to her for her birthday. I was extremely surprised and excited at how they came out, and how fun it was editing and framing the pictures. And she loved them very much! (phew)
I don't have a part-time job so I decided it would be fun to do something I love and sell prints, cards etc. with my photos on them while making them affordable (let's face it, good pictures aren't cheap to buy these days), and earning a little bit of pocket money on the side to put towards more camera accessories. Even just people looking and giving me good feedback on my photos is really encouraging and makes me want to keep taking photos forever!
