Photography
I started photography during my 2nd year of college where I fell in love with it. Having a hobby that directly relates to your career is somewhat satisfying and practical at the same time. As I can utilize my art knowledge and apply it during photography. I stopped being interested in photography after graduating college as I was busy building up my career and had little to no time to myself. But I'm starting to get interested again and I would love to capture moments in life again so that I have something to look back to.
