What is the aim or goal of your writing: "Family, Friends, and Good Work Habits" From his biographical sketch, "Later, our family moved to a farm in southern Michigan. Although I missed my old friends, as well as the charming atmosphere of my old hometown, I enjoyed taking care of our livestock and running free through the woods, marsh, and fields around our new home. The moment I walked out of the house, I was truly outside. The marsh, in particular, was bursting forth with wildlife--turtles, frogs, muskrats, ducks--and I delighted in my explorations and discoveries." "Ever since I was in fourth grade, I wanted to be a writer, but only as an adult in my early twenties did photography happen to me"
