I first became interested in photography about two years ago. I returned from a trip to Colorado and was disappointed in my snapshots. I purchased my first real camera and set out to learn how to use it. I will be satisfied when my images reflect the beauty that I see around me every day. Photography has made me slow down to pay attention to lighting, patterns and details that I would have previously ignored. BetterPhotos classes and the Masterpiece Membership keep me motivated and give me much needed direction to help me achieve my goals.
