I enjoy photographing things that intrigue and upset me: life, imagination, the people and things I love. For me, photography is an art and a record, a challenge and creative play. I photograph an eclectic collection of flowers, nature, barns, churches, scenics, etc. I look for images that resonate and surprise, that are artistic or heartwarming. Though the photographer and not the camera takes the picture, it is difficult to take an outstanding image with shabby equipment. I love Photoshop--for me, the final image is the goal. The better the first image, the easier it is to get there.
I've been taking pictures since I was a child and had a primitive darkroom.

I am currently in transition. I worked for 20 years as an interpreter at a Science Museum, and for twelve as an interpreter at a Nature Center. I recently earned an MFA in Creative Writing and am trying to find time in my busy life to write and be creative. I have a new sweetie and a new 11-year-old son, Graham (who has his own gallery), two grown daughters and a bird named Rocky.
I shoot with a Canon EOS 10D and a variety of pocket cameras. I often have the pocket cameras with me when I don't have the 10D because it is heavy and bulky.
