“Photography is the story I fail to put into words.”- Destin Sparks
My name is Kelly Buchanan and I am a 17-year-old student from Marin Catholic High School. Taking pictures has been a hobby of mine for as long as I can remember, and to this day, I recall the first big present I asked for: a real camera. In my sixth grade mind, I saw it as no more than an object that made pictures look better than what I could get on my little flip phone. I gave up asking after years of being told I was not old enough or I didn’t need it. However, with more freedom and maturity, along with a driver’s license, I obtained a greater appreciation for my surroundings and as well as a frustrating inability to truly capture them. I found a passion for photography in the power it gave me to catch the moments and scenes of both subtle and outstanding beauty throughout life and remember them forever.
