Jesse Simmers I am 21 years old and currently attending the Art Institute Online for my Associates Degree in Web Design.  My first year has just begun and with the knowledge I have acquired over the last two years I was able to develop this website along with many others. Right now the sites purpose is to display my photography skills, allowing people to see what I am capable of. As a young photographer it's hard to be taken seriously and be considered "professional". I have spent the past 2 years teaching myself about photography. With the help of Google and other various websites such as Digital Photography School, I was able to develop this portfolio which I now update weekly. I have put a lot of time into all of my work and would like to progress further in this career. With a few more years of shooting I should be able to accomplish my goal.
