1988.... very first image I shot

It was Christmas and my mom and step dad had split up months before so me and my sisters were opening our presents and I had the Polaroid camera in hand taking pictures. As soon as I clicked the button and moments later when the image developed I was amazed at how in a few short seconds I had frozen time within this image and how awesome that was. To be able to create a window into my world and see it again whenever I wanted and remember the emotion I felt in the moment was incredible. I loved taking pictures and recording the events and from that day on I did just that.
