Hi my name is . I am 22 and attend the University of Iowa as a journalism

and art

double major. My emphasis of study is photography. I have BPES, I have had

lots of

surgeries, all done by Rick in Salt Lake City, Utah. I wonder what has

driven me

to be passionate about photography and I can't help but connect it to the way I

see the

world, through my eyes. Sometimes I am scared that one day I won't be able to

shoot

photos anymore. My eyes water alot, and I am always wiping at them. All my

life people

have asked me if I was asian....or if I was tired...even if I was high....All of

these have made

me tough and sometimes I a little short with people. Sometimes I ignore it,

but

sometimes it really makes me mad. I would never go up to a complete stranger

and ask

why they look a certain way. I want to know what compelles them to ask. It is

hard to

learn how to talk about it, with out becoming emotional.
