"You see, photography is all about sharing. Sharing our images, sharing our talents and skills, and most importantly, sharing our time with those who share our passion for this hobby. When this happens, often the most lasting prize is not one that shows up in a picture, but the tiny spark that begins to glow in the heart of a new photographer. Be the source of that spark!"
Lovely words from fellow camera club member and friend, Marty DeWitt.

Born & raised in North Idaho with mountains literally as my front & back yard, I grew up in awe of the Creator's creation!
Even at a young age, I was about "capturing" life & it's moments.
As an adult, the surroundings may have changed, but the fascination with photography has never lost it's "flare"!
I find digital freeing & a good on-the-spot learning tool.
Experimenting with PhotoShop & LightRoom stimulates my creative soul...especially when it all works out! ;)
I'm inspired by many things & the subject matter is most often captured with my Canons.
I've had some favorite accomplishments & enjoy a good portrait session (senior, engagement, band promo) when the time arises. But it is especially nice to just get out & enjoy life with a camera & photo buddy at my side. And it's especially nice when that time well spent brings some enjoyment into the life of others as well.
Along life's journey, I've been blessed with a supportive family, inspiring friends, a fellowship of photographers & a wonderful network here at BetterPhoto.
THANK YOU for visiting my gallery!! :0)
