My friend Anna spent a year after graduating in Scotland volunteering through her church. I, of course, had to go visit her. This was also the driving factor behind purchasing my Nikon D60. I knew I had wanted a DSLR but wasn’t sure if I was going to enjoy shooting digitally since I had been out of photography for about four years, since freshman year of college when I changed my major from Photography to Marketing.  

We had a great time, first in Edinburgh and then at the camp Anna worked at in the Scottish Highlands. I think this is the point where I truly started wanting to get back into photography. College, especially that first year in the Art Foundation program at VCU, had taken a lot out of my passion.
