Who Am I |
My name is Windy Russell Rodriguez, I was born and raised in Brownsville Texas and till the day still a resident. I am the youngest of six, raised by a single mother three brothers and two sisters. I am also a Certified Micro Computer Specialist in which I obtained from UTB/TSC in Brownsville Texas, but that interest fell off the grid.
Ever since I can remember I have always enjoyed being behind the camera and not in front of it. My gift in photography is exactly what i just said "a gift", in which I think I inherited from my dad. Even though I did not spend a day of my life with my dad I was lucky enough to inherit his eye, vision, and talent in photography. A gift I would not trade for anything in the world. I started taken pictures with a small Sony digital camera with panorama feature, but over the years I progressed and began to notice that I had an eye for random beauty, so I upgraded to a Canon Rebel T3i and Changed to a Nikon D3300, in which I use for all my featured photos. My equipment is minimal, but I make do with what i've got. I have no photography degree no fancy studio and i am no pro but i love and enjoy what i do. I started entering competitions on www.redbubble.com and now am a moderator at www.viewbug.com in which some of my images were featured and enjoyed by others, which led me to this, my own site. I don't like to focus on just one subject I prefer a variety to which I refer to as random freelance photography. I am still exploring other elements and features to enhance my images, and better them for my visitors, myself and my clients. Though I am an advanced amateur at this, it is my passion , in which i hope to follow for the rest of my life and turn into a career or become notice or discovered for my talent. But most of all i just want everyone to enjoy my photos as i do. My photography is as free and random as my spirit. Once i have a camera in hand the world goes silent, my mind expands, and i lose myself in the moment never wanting to stop. " I am what I am and no one will ever change me, for I am as unique as my name. " |
