I have been interested in photography since I was a teenager and first experienced the joy of capturing moments and memories, not because my photos were good (they were not), but because the photos captured a moment in time that might otherwise be forgotten. What I love about photography and photographers is that their work is both art and story, and it forever changes the way one views the world, from scenic treasures of vast landscapes to the tiniest details of a flower, or recording time through generations of families, friends and beloved pets. It is a way one can capture, preserve and share the beauty of life, in all its facets, with the entire world.
