My Story

My life Story

Hello my name is Stefan James Green I live with my mother and sister in Cheshire I have no pets yet but always wanted a Tropical Fish tank so maybe in the future, I’m passionate about Photography and My Friends, I love going out to the cinema or going bowling or to a meal I don’t really watch many movies but when I watch some it’s manly Romance or Action for example “Italian Job” and  “Titanic”, I don’t really listen to much music but I do like R&B and pretty much anything you throw at me.

My favourite Colour is a Orangey Red a bit like the sky just as the sun is setting down for the night, I don’t know why but when I look at the wonderful colour in the sky it puts a big smile on my face, My favourite Food has got to be MY home made Spaghetti Bolinas (Yes I can COOK) I also like Mash can’t get enough of mash with corned beef.

There are not many things i hate people doing but there are some for example labelling people E.g. EMO, CHAV and then people saying there all the same or older people saying all the young ones are disrespectful or something along the lines. I also don’t like calling girls FIT or calling them BIRDS i just don’t see why girls would like to be associated with animals. Yes I am a little picky but oh well.

My life has not been easy but I have learned so much stuff it’s got to a point in life where I’m saying to myself Stefan you have done so much over the years you have proved yourself well. When I was a child I did not go out that much I was always in my back garden being a little boy looking for an adventure, I would always dig a big hole and try climb inside or I would Find lots of wood and make things, I remember one I collected loads of wood and nails and started trying to make a go-kart and then I tried to make myself a digger out of crates and a wheelie chair which was fun (Note: digger did not work).

In year six I started going to a special session because I was finding my granddads death very hard so times what getting hard for me, in the session we would bake cakes and I would build things out of Lego or play with loads of toys witch I loved every minute that I was there, But then it got to the stage where I was going to move into secondary school which I did not like the sound or the look of.

I went to a school called Stanny High but the name changed so many times I can’t keep track it was ok for the first year of secondary school then in year 8 i just did not want to go so i used to do the classic “ MUM I DONT FEEL WELL” worked most of the time though so that was a good thing until the school got onto me being off then every day after that until year 9 i would have to have to see a support worker every morning and that was good because i got allot of feeling out and plus we got to go on trips out to places YAY.

Year 9 there was not much that happened just plain old school year 10 Big year it was time to pick options, at this time i did not have a clue what i wanted to do in the future i had never really had a dream accept going to the moon when i was 8 but i don’t think i could of done that so you know, i decided to pick a wide range of options there were Art, Graphics, PE.

The final year was ok accept for the exams witch i did not do too good witch i regret so much that i did not try my hardest in school and now I’m paying for it.

The next step of my life was Collage i did not have a clue what i wanted to do in collage a first so i decided to have a look around to see what my options was so i decided to go for motor vehicle i started at level one and moved onto level 2 in that time i decided to re do my English and math and now i have got level 2 in Edexcel Functional skills qualification in mathematics and Edexcel Functional skills qualification in English,

After level to i decided Motor vehicle was not really for me so i again looked at my options and decided to go for plumbing instead witch i loved i took to the practical side of it very well at one point i fitted a hole bathroom from a boiler in a week witch i was very happy about why i was doing the plumbing i decided to get some more qualifications so i got myself level 2 in key skills in working with others and key skills in communications which they helped me allot the made me think about the way i was writing letters emails. Then i discovered photography and a new Chapter of my life

I have a wide range of friends and i have best friend witch I’ve grew up with over the years and there will be many more to come, I’m a very bubbly and outgoing person to be around always trying to help the best i can making sure people are ok being there to listen to people and sometimes a shoulder to cry on, very conferential and not going to tell the whole world about your problems.

Who am I, I thing many people don’t see the side of me they think i have people always judge a book by its cover I’m sure if someone sat down with me for a couple of hours under a star lit sky they would get a better understanding of what a good person i could be im a very understanding genital and warm-hearted person but not many people get to see that because they never get that close because I’m always the one being be-friend.

I was always the Friends that was in the background all my friends would go out to meet girls and when i went with them they just always seemed to go with my friends never knew why that was did not help my conference at all, i was always the one that was in the background all shy then i turning point in my life came when i started to feel a little more confident and i started hanging around with some more girls.

This point in my life i was around 18 and i started to go out to some night clubs and this same time i started to grow my hair which gave me much needed confidence.

Unfortunately when i was 19 I started to become very ill one day i was meant to be going out to Chester and I started to go Weird so i rushed to my nans house then i fell to the floor and started to have a seizure, i was rushed into hospital when there was loads of blood tests and ECG’s done which had to be one of the lowest points in my life, after that day my life has not been the same ever cense i could not walk without going dizzy and nearly collapsing in the street and even moving my head would make me go all woozy.

i had to still have loads of test’s such as 24 hour ECG’s and a 24 hour Blood pressure they came back to me with some tablets that they said would calm it down and thank god i found something that helped otherwise i don’t know where i would be but now i have to take tablets every day which is not good but it helps me so I’d rather get out that sit in going dizzy but now on the right track to recovery.

As you have guessed I’m passionate about photography, I don’t think i could ever stop taking photos now just something about it that makes me happy and gives me time to forget about the world and its problems. I started a couple of years ago when my friend Brought his camera out to take photos of some free running and i instantly took over the camera and started snapping away, the Christmas that year which was about 1 month from when i started taking pictures on my friends camera i got myself my very over camera that i was over the moon with it was a canon 20D yes not one of the best cameras but i got some amazing photos with it.

I used my Canon 20D for about 2 years learning about Shutter speed and ISO and many other things then it got to a point when it was holding me back a little so i made a decision to get myself a upgrade so i went on the internet and i found a good upgrade for me to start off with i choice i Canon Rebel T3 (1100D) which was not a top camera but i would last me and I’m still shooting with it today.

In the future i would like to upgrade to something like a canon 7D or a 5D but at the moment in time im happy with my Rebel t3 to learn with I’m slowly building a collection on lenses and equipment such as flashgun and reflector i also have a tripod and some filters for the long night exposures or the slow shutter speed in the day.

I have many spots that i like taking photos and i have many styles of photos i like to take i will not turn down a opportunity to take some photos or even just learn about a different way of shooting , im now learning how to take night photos such as long exposures and light painting witch every time i go out i learn something new witch i enjoy the most.

The story of my life still continues to this day.
