Photography is a special tool. Photography allows anyone to document the world through their perceptive. We have reached a point in time in which most people have a camera attached to their hip. I think it is beautiful.

I think everyone should be given the chance to hold a camera or at least stand on the other side of one. We are all on this earth for a short time. We should enjoy it. We should also leave beautiful pieces of history for the future generations to enjoy too.

When you give a girl a camera, she was able to document the flowers she stopped to smell.

I wanted to show those moments that mattered. Those little laughs, those happy snacks, those colorful faces that made small moments memories. I was able to show those moments.

When you give a girl a camera, she felt a new power in her hands.

I was given the chance to share my world, my perceptive, my life. I although it may not seem like a lot because I am one in a million, it is a lot for me. I was able to show the world the way I wanted it to look. I want my life to be honest and truthful.

When you give a girl a camera, she was able to share her travels around the world.

Postcards are cool. Postcards are professional photos on perfect days. But when I saw the Effiel Tower, it was glum and rainy. The only postcards I could find were sunny days. I want to show off the attraction the way I saw it, not just the way everyone else sees it every day.

When you give a girl a camera, she was given technology to make her own art.

My art, my rules. I am able to play with lights, play in different weather, find new angles and make different textures. Thanks to today's technology, I also have Photoshop to help with that creativity.

When you give a girl camera, she was able to look back on the memories of my loved ones I have lost.

Grief and loss are tough pills to swallow. Photographs and memories make them easier to handle. They remind us of the happier and simpler times that I wish I could hold onto. I am so grateful for every photograph I can collect.

When you give me a camera, you give me a chance to change the perspective of the world.

I'll admit it, I have a condition called RBF or, if you will, Resting Bitch Face.

Anna Kendrick, poor Kristen Stewart, the Queen of England are all life-long sufferers of RBF. Victoria Beckham even made a career out of it! And though it's usually used to describe women, some men are also afflicted. Kanye West is the best example of this.

April Ludgate

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
