About The Photographer

I have been taking pictures since I was 8 years old, when my father gave me a Kodak Hawkeye camera. Since then photography has taken me on adventures on archaeological sites, ski slopes, corrals, BMX tracks and beautiful locations all over the world. After my children left home, I concentrated on landscape and wildlife photography. In addition to the wonderful places I get to visit and photograph, I have the privilege of meeting people who have helped me improve my craft. What a gift!
