Your Bio

When my dad got me my first OM1, I was thrilled. It was a hand me down and he trusted me to take good care of it at age 13. For years I enjoyed shooting film and learned many skills working in the darkroom. Moving to digital has been fun and frustrating, but now that I have a MAC it's been much better. I am learning how to use PS4 and manipulate my photos to make art. I find this new area in photography much fun, but still enjoy the "real" photos that are un-touched. Please enjoy, look around.

Photo A Day : With my computer crash, I may not get daily photos up, but I'll do my best, I'm starting a little late, but I do my best to keep up. Please give constructive comments to help me grow, you won't hurt my feelings, I'm trying to get serious about this. If you like what you see, let me know why - that helps too. Thank you all, now being new to SmugMug, I wish I knew how to get around in here a little better. Thanks to you all, your a great inspiration.

California Trip : We drove down to Crecent Beach, CA from Olympia, WA - it was a great trip, we stayed at a little house right off the beach. Lots to do nearby and we enjoyed the lighthouse very much.

Wildlife Safari, Winston, OR : On our way back from a family vacation in CA Redwoods, we stopped at this Drive thru park in Oregon. It was a lot of fun and the only problem was that you could not stop your car, so all the photos are from a moving vehicle. The lion, tigers, large cats and bears required us to keep our windows rolled up as well. We would go again, it was very enjoyable.

The Lady Washington : We sailed on the lovely ship out of Tacoma, Washington. The ship was in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean. They come up once a year and we were able to take sail for a few hours. Would do it again.
