About Me
About Me:
My name is Joseph Lodato. I was born in Portland Maine. I am blessed(?) by being an only child. I have no brothers or sisters. At home, my family speaks English but sometimes I will say something in Latin or Italian just to mess with my parents. But in all seriousness we just speak English. In the future, I want to be a software developer. In 5 years I will hopefully be in college studying Computer Science or Data Science while interning at local tech companies. My mother went collage for art while studying interior design/architecture. One thing that I am most proud of is an app that I am making for a competition. Although it is not finished yet I am proud of the current product. In my free time I enjoy playing tennis, sailing (sometimes too much) and programing various projects that I think of. I enrolled in this course for a few reasons. This first is simply I need an art credit. And when I looked at all the art credits that I could get photography caught my eye the most. I am most interested in the photographer William Eggleston. I'm not fully sure what it is I like about his work but I do know that I like the simplicity of is photos and how he makes things pop by using contrasting colors. I touched on my idea job earlier but I would say that my "dream job" would be a software developer. Something about creating programs and applications is really fun for me. If I had to describe myself in three adjectives I would say that they would be the following. Resourceful, creative and a strong leader.
