When I first joined yearbook, it was as a designer; I was at my most comfortable sitting at a desk, writing stories and laying out pages. While I always thought being a photographer sounded fun, I never thought I'd become one myself, too overwhelmed by all of the camera settings to dive in. But, when it came time for my senior year, I realized I was running out of time to give it a try. With the help of some very patient friends in yearbook and journalism who showed me the basics, I'm now happy to find myself holding a camera, whether that be on sidelines or stage left.
