Welcome

I have been capturing moments since before I was a teen. My very first camera was a Kodak Instamatic 110mm that I proudly purchased for a mere 25 cents at a yard sale back in the early 1980s (or late 1970s). That camera gave me so many memories for many, many years. I eventually upgraded to a Polaroid Instant, and then the 35mm (my camera of choice was the Canon Sure Shot).

I went through a couple different film cameras before switching to digital a few years ago. I have used an Aiptex (not the greatest) and a Kodak EasyShare 12megapix w/ 5x optical zoom. I now use an Olympus E-620 as my primary camera and recently purchased an inexpensive point-and-shoot Canon PowerShot A490. While I am new to DSLR, I find that photography is a lifelong learning experience. I don't yet have any of the fancier lenses or a tripod, so I try to capture the best possible image with what I do have.

My philosophy is to capture the moment. It doesn't matter what the subject is, so long as it draws my eye. I have been known to capture images of spiders crawling up a wall or on a vehicle. My grandmother really encouraged my shutterbug. I always have a camera with me.

My work consists primarily of personal events and travels in my life. I have done wedding photography on a couple of occasions and birthday parties on several. I have also captured baby showers, family gatherings, and other events. Some of my favorite subjects are my adorable niece, animals, mountains, water, flowers and barns.

Thank you for stopping by my blog and viewing my images! Comments/feedback are always welcome and appreciated.
