My journey into the arena of photography started when I bought an old Brownie camera at a garage sale with my saved paper route money. I was immediately hooked! My next camera was a Canon FTB 35mm and boy did I think I was styling. That camera and a high school photography class taught me the basics. Then life took over and soon I had completed four years in the United States Marine Corps, raised four daughters, and immersed myself in my own-small tool making-designing business.
My work is surrounded in math and precision; squares, tolerances, rectangles, circles, metals, speeds, and feeds. It was not until moving to a rural town in Northern Minnesota that I began taking pictures (other than snapshots) and discovered the right-side of my brain. I purchased a DSLR camera that is able to shoot in raw and discovered software to edit photos. Again, I am really hooked!
Hence, this is my mission to see if I can use the right-side of my brain and be creative. Now the years I have been riding my Harley past picturesque scenes, will be spent stopping and spending some time with my camera.
Thanks for viewing and commenting on photos. All photos are copy right, ya, ya...
