# Hello Everyone!

My name is John Patrick Lastrado. I'm new to this website.
 This site was referred to me by @craftech.
I was amazed by how this community works, and decided to join immediately.

# Some Things About Myself
For the past years, I have been really interested in photography, and have since then improved my skill in the art. My other interests are videogames, specifically Skyrim and the Arkham Series, or any stealth game in particular. I love to play the guitar and ukulele. As of now, I own a D5500

# The Photographer/Explorer

I have been a photographer for 2 years now. Based on the standards of photography, I can consider myself a professional. Photography is a skill and job at the same time. It is a new way of expressing ourselves or path to intricate storytelling. Sometimes a photo is more than meets the eye. It can take very long to take just one photograph. I use Lightroom for editing to give it a boost in the story it tells. I may have an entry-level camera as the one mentioned above, but I have honed my skills enough to know how to use a light-capturing device well.

So fellow steemians I greet you today as a new member of this **community**!
