I started taking photos in 1995 because I had to take an art class in high school. My mom was a photographer so I had a camera. I got a C in my Photo 1 class cause we had to take photos of still lives and shit and I hated the darkroom. But in Photo 2 I got to take photos of my actual life and I never put down a camera.

Very cool… my mother handed down her 110 film Minolta when I was 5 or 6, and it had some tape to keep the doors closed… I started taking pictures of frogs and toads and turtles in my backyard. 

These days, the turtles are bigger.

Excellent. 
I think I only have one turtle photo (okay it's a tortoise - let me live) but it's a pretty fun one.

I keep going over this with @monikanft… all tortoises are turtles, but not all turtles are tortoises. A tortoise is a type of turtle, so it’s a great share on Turtle Tuesday!
