Born and raised in southern RI, I moved south to the gulf coast of Florida 10 years ago and haven't seen a snowflake since except on TWC. When I was a wee lass, my parents handed me a Kodak Brownie camera, patted me on the bottom and sent me out to play. I never stopped.
I took a Photography course in college to satisfy an art requirement. Had to borrow a friend's ancient 35mm camera. Received an A for the class but it was for effort certainly not technique. It was then I became seriously addicted.
With the advent of the digital age, I have become nothing short of obsessed...as my relatives, friends and co-worker's will attest to. I know I drive them crazy. I no longer leave home without my camera.
I have always seen life through a lens, whether I had a camera in my hands or not. Photography truly is meant to capture the essence of life and the soul's of people and critters alike. That is the goal I strive for.
My life is an open book through my photography and I hope you enjoy viewing it. I certainly enjoy capturing it.
