I think by the end of this week I'm going to have the answer to this question perfected ha ha. My journey to becoming interested in photography was from travelling . To be honest, I think I have always been interested since I was young. I always thought I had a problem because I would look at one National Geographic book for 3 hours just looking at the photos (yes what kind of child actually reads books). I would also watch Discovery Channel often just to watch animals and how they survived on this world. I started travelling when I ended up going on a Europe trip with my high school for 14 days. I think that's when digital camera's became a huge thing and I started experimenting there and I absolutely loved it, I just wished memory cards were a lot bigger then so I didn't have to decided between two good photo's ha ha. When I came back from my trip, I was given many positive feed backs plus reviewing them made realize how passionate I was about my photo's looking back and remembering how different/beautiful the world was in that moment. So I ended up going to Australia in 2006 for 3 months by myself to experience more of the world. It has taken awhile but as cheesy as it may sound, I found something that truly makes me strive for more.
The techniques I'm hoping to learn by the end of the year is more technical stuff. I am very new to my SLR and I have been experimenting with it a little and I'm already getting the hang of it, but does need improvement. I would truly love to learn my actual style of photography because really I just love to shoot anything that looks free and out of the ordinary. Overall, to be the best I can be.
Q. Have you ever had a brush with greatness? Meeting someone famous)
Surprisingly, I have met someone famous. I ended up going to Australia Zoo in Brisbane and I was on my way to check out some elephants. Next thing I know, Steve Irwin (also known as the Crocodile Hunter) rode up to me on his little bike and started having a conversation with me. Now obviously I'm like speechless because I totally love the guy and he's asking me questions of where I'm from , how long I have been in the oz and how much he loves Canada and Polar bears. I was very happy to meet him because he passed away the next week.

I spent some time in Australia in 2006 too! I'm pretty jealous that you got to meet Steve Irwin, he passed away a few months before I got there.
Where abouts were you staying? Or did you just do some backpacking while you were there?
I was actually living about an hour north of Sydney on the Central Coast. My sister lives there with her husband and my nephew so I oppupied their spare room for about 6 months. The most northern point that I went to was probably Fraser Island, most southern point Great Ocean Road.. and most western was probably Orange. Never got the chance to go to the Gold Coast or Brisbane though :(
I agree though, Byron Bay was great!
