My name is Marina Storozhuk. I was born on May 29 1994 in Ukraine. My family and I moved to Vancouver, Washington when I was six years old. It was really hard for us to decide to move to America because we had relatives in Ukraine that wanted us to stay and we also had relatives in Washington that wanted us to come here. It was a hard decision, but we decided to come here. For the first month or two we stayed at our cousin’s house, and when my dad got a job so we moved into apartments. In the next six years we moved to three different apartments. Then two years ago we built a house alongside our cousin and my best friend, Natalie. We currently live there. I visited my birthplace in 2005, but other then that; I’ve been in Vancouver all along. Visiting Ukraine was a really good experience for me because I got to see my grandparents. I kind of had to meet them because I didn’t remember them very well. Ukraine has lots of pretty places and nice sunsets. One day i would like to take some photographs of that. One thing I like about photography is that the photo you take makes memories and stops time so you can remember the moment forever. Also, i like photography because you get to travel and see all beautiful places and learn more. I like taking photographs of rivers and sunsets. Also, I like to Photograph food and kids. I especially like a few photographers. One of my favorites is Anne Geddes. She photographs babies and little children. I like the way she makes the kids look so innocent and cute. Photography intrests me alot and i would mabey someday want to be a wedding photographer.
