Hello steemit!
I'm really glad to be on board. The community here seems awesome and I can't wait to get to know you all.
My name is Aaron and I live in Cornwall, which is the south west of england.
I really love it here, the landscapes are stunning and the coast is absolutely beautiful. There are miles and miles of gorgeous beaches here which as a child captured my heart.
If I'm honest I think I'm quite a diverse person, with a variety of interests.
My core interst is definetly one of creativity, I have always been creative and taken an interest in many forms of Art.
From childhood I have always loved drawing and painting, that passion has always been with me and will never leave. I have played around with a variety of mediums such as, clay, Biro, charcoal, all the varieties of paints. Digital painting in Photoshop is also a passion of mine, I find it really expands all possibilities within your art work.
Currently I'm in love pen and ink drawing. I'm switching between indian ink and any pen at the moment but there is something very satisfying about the contrast and line work.
Having such a keen interest in art naturally lead me to explore photography while studying. Having such a beautiful coast surronding me I gravitated towards landscape photography.

Godrevy Coast at sunset, Cornwall

In the first few years of developing and learning a friend asked if I would photograph their wedding, hesitantly I said yes. I'm really glad I did as since then
I have photographed loads of weddings and consider that a big part of my income. Wedding photography is really rewarding in the sense you are capturing a unique special moment for someone who will cherish your work forever, I love being a part of that.
Over the years my creativity has expanded to many forms of photography and art blurring the lines between both. To further my creativity I studied Fine Art at Falmouth college of Art.
Stepping away from my creative side now, I have many other interests, such as
- Language learning (currently studying French)
- Fitness and nutrition,
- Psychology
- Self development
- Charity work
- Gaming
- and obviously crypto.
Fitness, nutrition and health
has been one of my biggest focuses over the past few years. I started eating with my training and health in mind which completely changed my life. I've fallen down and failed many times but determination and persistence has and will continue to pay off.
Over the past few years I have set myself some really high goals, pushing myself to improve and have really come a long way. In my future posts I'm really excited to share all of this with you.
So that's me in a nutshell
So that's the type of stuff I intend to post, share and discuss. Other interesting subject will sneak in there no doubt.
Thank you for reading a little about me, I hope to get to know a lot of you well.

Welcome to Steemit, Aaron. Do they call it, "The Cornwall"? Reminds me of the instances when my father refers to getting online, as "I am checking on the line"

lol Thanks for pointing that error out, no it's just Cornwall. Managed to edit it before it's stuck on the blockchain forever.

Well, unfortunately it's there. On the blockchain forever :)
This is something I'm worried about with Steemit... If someone uploads copywrite protected material; They can delete it but it doesn't go away. This could be a way for some strange lawsuits in the future

Ha never mind, I'm going to have to be hyper aware of mistakes on here then!
That's a really good point. Copyrighted material posted onto the blockchain could bring about some really challenging lawsuits.
