Derek H. O’Brien, is from Rockport, Maine. I am a quadriplegic. I broke my neck on July 23, 2005 at c6-c7.  I had a diving accident. I did photography during high school and studied architecture at Catholic University of America until my junior year. After my hospital stay I came home and met Mark Wallack and he got me back into photography. I am doing a photo-a-day I have done 1 year doing with DSLR and doing it again with my IPhone. I am going back to college at UMaine studying New Media.
