Although I did take some photos growing up, I didn't seriously start shooting until college, when I enrolled in a required photojournalism course. I bought developing equipment and developed my own black and white photos in the campus darkroom. I ended up becoming a journalist, and have been an editor for nearly 30 years at such publications as the San Jose (Calif.) Mercury News, the Los Angeles Times, the Dallas Morning News, the Ventura County Star and Hispanic Business Media. I am currently the Senior Managing Editor for MotorHome magazine, a publication of Affinity Group.
My first camera was a Konica and I've owned Kodak digital cameras, two Canon Rebels and an Olympus Camedia digital. I now have six Canons: a 40D, a 20D, a 10D, a PowerShot G7, a PowerShot S70 and an EOS Elan 7E.
I'm a native Southern Californian (the Los Angeles area). I live in Oxnard (California's Strawberry Coast) in beautiful Ventura County north of L.A.
I've been married to George Foulsham since St. Patrick's Day, March 17, 1999. George is the News Director at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
We have two great dogs, Golden retriever Bella and mini Australian shepherd Ginger.
Education: Bachelor of Science, Communication Arts (newspaper/magazine journalism), Cal Poly, Pomona. Master's, Communication (print journalism), Stanford University.
