My favourite genres of music are: Pop, R&B, Hip-Hop, Indie and Reggae.
I like these music genres because they are easy to listen to whilst relaxing or studying.

Many landscape photographers show little or no human activity in their photos, striving to attain pure, unsullied landscapes that are devoid of human influence, using instead subjects such as strongly defined landforms, weather and ambient light.

Architectural photography is the photographing of buildings and similar structures that are both aesthetically pleasing and accurate representations of their subjects.

Portraiture is photography of a person or group of people that displays the expression, personality, and mood of the subject.

Nature photography refers to a wide range of photography taken outdoors and devoted to displaying natural elements such as landscapes, wildlife, plants, and close-ups of natural scenes and textures.

Urban photography is similar to street photography in that it takes place in an inner city environment but it differs from street photography in that it may or may not have people included in the image. Urban photos are often taken of buildings, or rather the urban landscape itself as the main subject and if people are included in the picture is it is incidental. Street photography on the other hand takes people as the main subject.

Drawings

 as you can see I have been drawing, 3 of the pictures are of a bark off of a tree and the other is a drawing of a shell which I did in pen.
I found it difficult to draw the bark as it had lots of small detail, the shell was easier to draw because it didnt Have as much detail. the techniques I used in my drawings were; cross hatchings and shading.
