When I moved to San Diego I quickly became obsessed with surfing as I had always wanted to surf my entire life, not sure why considering I grew up in the sticks riding a horse. After I had been surfing a couple years I started taking pictures of my surf adventures with my friends. Soon I had a camera and was swimming with my camera more than I was surfing. I started researching as much as possible about photography through my library at school and on the web. I guess this is where I started becoming a master of the google search that would later be applied to code research.
