Personal Life and Background
Born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, I have been greatly influenced by 'big-city' settings, such as working in a busy downtown setting. Both my parents, and all of my grandparents happen to be artists in their own different form. My mother, Rita Vindedzis is a painter, as are both her parents. Unfortunately I don't do too well when it comes to free-hand drawing, and similar activities. However, when I was young, my dad, Egils Vindedzis, was taking and developing black/white photography quite frequently, and being at such a young age, I absorbed the interest like a sponge. He is now the Vice-President at blackDot.ca, a Web Design/Development company. Digital photography, along with creative writing are my main strengths in the art category.
School and Interests
Throughout my years at Lawrence Park CI high school in Toronto, I realized where my strengths were, and, consequently, where my weaknesses were. I found I was better in the histories and languages, rather than the sciences, and about par in the maths. I am really into music, yet have never played an instrument. I find that when you indulge yourself in music, it can change a wide variety of emotions in you. For example: I have noticed that most Jazz is calming, where as more up-beat music like rock can get you excited about the smallest things. Technology is a very important aspect of life in my opinion; it can make everything so much easier, if you know how to use it correctly. But remember: a computer can only be as smart as the person controlling it. Along with music and technology, I love food. You are what you eat, so instead of scarfing down fast food all the time, take a break from your job, or whatever consumes most of your time and watch a cooking show. If you find a dish appealing, try it for yourself. As mentioned before, I like writing. Not so much reading, writing. I find it rather ironic, actually, that one can really like to write, yet not care much for reading. I guess that's why the audio book was invented. Of course, technology makes life just that much easier.
