ashley curry photography

tumblr has become my life so i decided instead of only having one personal account, i might as well start one for photography. i feel like flickr is dead, although i know it’s not. i just don’t have as much enthusiasm for the site anymore. anyway, here’s a bit about me…

my name is ashley curry, i live in south florida and i’ve been shooting photos since before i can remember. i got my first professional camera (canon rebel eos xs) last year for christmas but before that, i was slowly climbing up the kodak tree. performance easyshares were my life, but i constantly had malfunction problems with them. i thank my dad ALL the time for such a wonderful christmas gift.

i see photos as inspiration, and when i have inspiration, my eye sees everything. i have taken quite a few photos in my 22 years of life, and i have to say, although i’m no professional, this is a passion that i hope to pass down to everyone and anyone i can. it’s my escape, my way to express myself.

as i said, i’m 22 years old… and engaged to be married. not only did i get an amazing camera for christmas, i was proposed to! i can’t say 2010 was my best year, but it sure did come with a lot of surprises. i have a wonderful home that is paid off, as well as a decent car that is paid off, and a fiance who puts me first… in every situation. i lost my mom a year and a half ago, and although i miss her every day, i can’t be ungrateful for what i’ve got. i’ve got a WHOLE lot.

i am suffering from cirrhosis of the liver (non alcohol related, obviously). there are days when i care barely drag myself out of bed, let alone take a photo. i try not to let that stop me and lately, i’ve  been bringing my camera everywhere. i have some many photos i have yet to edit, but it’s all about creativity and doing what you want, and what you see is right. i will get around to editing and taking new photos soon. the holidays are coming, so that means christmas photos! i hope to find tons of families, couples, kids, friends and puppies to shoot for the season. so excited.

there’s a lot more about me that i could say, but this post is getting pretty long. here is one of my favorite self-portaits. it was taken on 8/10/10, just before i dyed my hair pink. leather and 100 degree weather don’t mix, but we all know they make for a great photo.

i hope to make a lot of new friends and followers with this blog. follow me and if i like your stuff, i’ll definitely follow/promote you. :)
