Hobbyist From Indiana!

Hey guys!

I'm Elijah and I'm a hobby photographer from North Central Indiana, originally from Central Florida. I got into photography about 3 years ago when I started on a weight loss journey and started riding my bike everyday to get out and get some cardio. Went fr0om 400 pounds to 240 in a year on this journey, and I always carried a little pocket camera with me and just wanted to take pictures of everything, and eventually got addicted to preserving every little thing.

Started looking up photography inspiration and practiced and practiced and found a school I wanted to go to called "The Art Institute of Indianapolis." Other than the 4 really good friends I made from there, that turned out to be the biggest mistake of my life. It didn't kill my interest in photography though, and I just kept clicking away, learning new angles and techniques through trial, error, and what stuff I could find on the internet.

I wouldn't say I'm great, but greatful for my passion because there's no better way to preserve memories and amazing moments in time than with a camera!

Hope to get to know some of you here and learn more and more! =D
