Although I've always loved to take pictures, I really started my love affair with photography when I was a student abroad in Europe and was using an old classic camera that had been my grandfathers...have forgotten it's brand. That was 21 years ago!
The name of my little photography business is A Thing Of Beauty. It is taken from a few lines from a John Keats poem of the same name...
A Thing of Beauty is a joy forever:
It's loveliness increases;
It will never pass into nothingness...
From Endymion, John Keats 1818
To me, my photography is my joy and by capturing a moment or a "thing of beauty", I will always have it with me . . . and can share with others.
I love macro flower images as you can't really see the beauty of a flower when you're rushing by. I love water so I'm usually photographing it somewhere. And I have a pond in my backyard where I can stand for what seems like hours during the autumn leaf peak zooming in on all the wild reflections! I am a nature girl at heart, and I think it shows in my photography.
Enjoy!
