About Me

My name is Curtis. I'm many things. First and foremost, I'm a full time student at Crowder College. (one more semester to go) I'm a free lance photographer, but more specifically a portrait photographer. I'm a reporter and a writer. I'm a boyfriend. I'm a republican. I'm a citizen. I'm an american.I have respect for people who find purpose in their lives and work hard pursue it.I respect people who are aware of what they don't know and aren't afraid to admit it.I respect people who are willing to take responsiblity for their own actions.I respect people who give back to society.I'm sickened by people who leach off it.I'm intrigued by people who think outside the box.I'm a friend of anyone who has a creative outlet.I believe that pain and suffering are not only a necessary part of life, but also important for building character and spawning personal growth.
