Writing about myself is always difficult. I dont know why it is because since I am me, shouldn't I know myself the best?

I love photography. I bring a camera with me everywhere. I am by no means a professional, but one day I dream to be one after lots of hard work. My favorite kind of photos are the ones that are realistic and raw. No frills. Everything as it is. I think its very eye opening, because people tend to walk through life lost in thought and dont notice whats around them. If they did, they would learn that life is beautiful. That its painful. People are kind, and people are cruel. Theres a constant struggle for balance that seems to define us, and enlighten those who allow themselves to be.

Oppourtunities for photos like that are hard to come by in my current position, so I mainly photograph the world around me. But after getting a degree in photojournalism, I'll be able to take the pictures that I dream of. ^__^

 

My mothers Kodak z712 IS zoom camera and my imagination.

Hoping to get a Canon Rebel for christmas.

 

If you take any of my photos, specify that they are by Heather Hoppe. These photos are my love and my passion, so it would break my heart a little to find other people claiming them as theirs.
