BIO William is a photography student at the CDIA, DC campus. Photography has always been something that William has enjoyed but never imagined turning it into a career until he purchased his first DSLR, an Olympus E-620, last year. After attending an open house and seeing all the talent and work being produced at CDIA, William decided to take the plunge and follow his passion for photography. Prior to attending CDIA, William taught English in Akita and Niigata, Japan for 6 years. William enjoys traveling, being outdoors and good eats. http://spaceoflee.blogspot.com http://mycdia2010.blogspot.com/
