I have grown up loving photography, but only in my senior years have I forged ahead with developing skills in that area. By merging my loves of travel, curiosity and saving the moments have I begun to evolve as a photographer. I am a speech therapist by training. This career provided many opportunities, including an impulse purchase of my first digital camera while in Colorado on a work assignment that happened to coincide with the Elk roaming throughout that town. I just had to capture that scene. That impulse purchase began my journey of truly learning the art and science of photography. Today, I love to find the unusual in common places and then share it through photography. I want my photographs to evoke something in the viewer – whether it be comedy, recall of another time, sense of beauty, or some other connection. If one of my photographs causes someone to pause for a moment and reflect on something, it did its job and that makes me smile.
