My camera has always been required gear for my journey through life, from my first film SLR to my current Nikon. I love being outdoors in my natural surroundings. My interests of boating, beaching, fishing, scuba-diving, birding and traveling, fit perfectly with my love of photography.


I was born and raised in Brooklyn and moved to Long Island, NY as a young adult and I love where I lived! My husband and I recently moved to Florida. It is another state where nature is plentiful! Long Island and Florida have so many beautiful beaches and parks with abundant wildlife.
Since my retirement from a career in education, I have been able to devote more time to photography and traveling. 

Check my images here to see my photos of Long Island with Fire Island and New York City, Florida's boating lifestyle, and my continued international travel adventures!
