I'm a 72 year old wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, and friend. Eight years ago, I finally decided to explore my creative side to see where it might take me. My absolute passion has become photography. April of 2011, I finally purchased my first DSLR camera and realized I have so much to learn technically. My point and shoot was so much easier, but limiting. I must admit to being a 'slow learner' when it comes to the technical aspects of photography. I'm not professionally trained, yet feel I have a natural eye. I've been encouraged by many family and friends to pursue this with as much passion and enthusiasm as I can muster. I intend to do just that! I truly believe this is what I'm meant to do. Better late than never!
It's funny, since my first digital camera purchase, I really do see the world and people differently. Emotion and beauty are at the forefront of my work. I gravitate, it seems, to nature, architecture, and occasionally something 'quirky' draws my eye and I must photograph it! Recently, I've decided to focus more of street photography so we'll see where that goes!
I've been fortunate enough to win a few juried photo contests and have met some amazingly talented people in the photography world.
I truly hope you see something you can appreciate or relate to on some level. Thank you for taking a look. I would be honored if you purchase a piece for your own home, a gift for someone special or just because you love it and must have it!
