My name is Matt Burke and I am in eighth grade. I first got in to photography when my sister got a camera when i was about 11, but i never really wanted to be a photographer until my good friend Pamela showed me her amazing photos. Because of my competitive nature, I immediatly wanted to take a better picture than her. I ended up loving photography! I got my first camera in August as a birthday present, and i have been taking pictures and videos ever since. Next year, I will be entering high school, and i will be taking a photography class to improve.
