<p>Well, here I’ll start the explanation of my main EC, which is kind of an obsession: photography. Basically, I’m pretty freakish about photography. I started my own professional portrait studio (families, seniors, etc.) , I intern at Austin Monthly Magazine, and I also started this website for teen photographers: teenagephotographer.com. I get emails from a bunch of people all across the globe now.</p>
<p>I’ve also been published in more than 4 different magazines (including photo marketing magazine, austin monthly, etc.). I have an international staff of writers on my website. And I won grand prize or finalist in over three huge international photography contests (PIEA and Best of Photography/ Best of College Photography), and about 5 other smaller national contests. Some contests were student contests, but most of them were open to all photographers. I’ve also been published in photography educational material all across the country, and in 3 different books as well.</p>
<p>Also, as mentioned above, I’m an eBay powerseller, with a huge sell record.</p>
<p>Anything generic (National merit semifinalist, etc.) , I didn’t write; I did all the usual volunteering, leadership, high AP score stuff.</p>
