Hi everyone! I know Amanda teased that I would be making my introduction soon, but before I jump right in I want to say thank you to everyone who has supported her and her amazing photography along the way. You guys make this endeavor possible, and it means the world to me (and I’m sure to her too) that my wife can do what she loves and has the amazing support of some awesome people like you!
All that aside, I’m sure that you guessed from Amanda’s previous post (check it out here) that I’m here to introduce myself. Hi… I’m Miguel, Amanda’s husband. I’m going to be joining the team to become Amanda’s dedicated second shooter. You’ll see me around the blog and you’ll see some of my pictures around on here and the website.
Some things about me. I love stories. As an extrovert, I would say that my favorite question to always ask people is why! I love getting to know people well, and I think the best way to do that is to ask why. Asking why always brings out a great story. My love for stories also stretches into movies and TV. Movies are how I get away for a little while and recharge. Lately though, I’m finding that I’m appreciating TV shows more. Shows like Game of Thrones and Westworld are captivating and able to tell a much more robust story than movies can with the time constraints.
I also love being challenged! Things like brain teasers, Sudoku, and word puzzles are a great way to keep me distracted and entertained. Video games present a fun challenge, but when I’m looking for a way to be challenged and be with friends, board games are where I go. Playing an intense game of Settlers of Catan (just Catan now I guess) forces me into new strategies that I never would have tried if not for the special set of challenges I find myself in in every type of game we play (and boy do we have plenty).
Wow… Looking at that above I sound like a HUGE geek, which, truth be told, I am. But, I do get out too. Nature and wildlife are one of my earliest passions. My education is actually in biology. In fact, the desire to chronical my adventures when out in the forest and finding new (to me) animals is what first put a camera in my hands. From taking my first pictures of turtles and salamanders, to joining Amanda now, I’ve learned a lot. Amanda has been an awesome teacher, and we are ready to give you all a great photography experience. We can’t wait to tell you more about what me joining the team means for you! Keep a look out for our next blog post, and, again, thank you all for your support! I can’t wait to work with you all!
