Greetings,
My name is Danielle (aka Dara Black). I am an amature photographer and I wanted a place to store my photographs, (and my writings, as I am now uploading these as well I guess). I currently live and work in Graham, North Carolina. I am am a Jesus freak, a self-proclaimed Gothic at heart (sometimes it comes out in my outward appearance...okay like all the time, but that's alright), and an outdoors lover (as you will tell from my photos when I upload them!). I love to hunt, fish, hike, fire my rifles at the range, ride horses, run the beach, go clam digging and crabbing, as well as write, draw, paint, and dabble in photography. I have a passion for nature and for the Lord and I do my best to incorporate these passions into my photography and writings.
My alternate account is ObsidianFarm, where I do most of my horse-art related creativity.
