The photo of me was taken by my son on a trip to the Grand Canyon. This is how my children see me most these days, especially when we are traveling. Camera constantly in front of my face.
After buying my first ever DSLR in April of 2009, I was hooked. Maybe having just gone through a divorce, facing life as a single parent of two teenagers, and letting go of the “happily ever after' life I had always planned had something to do with it. I don't know. All I know is when I started taking photos with that camera, learning about exposure, composition, focus, and all the aspects of what makes a photograph different from a snapshot, I couldn't stop. And I still can't.
This is what I was meant to do. Finding my passion late in life has been both exhilarating and challenging. On the one hand, I feel like I'm finally doing something meaningful with my life. On the other hand, there seems so little time left to master it all. Certainly, I will be a work in progress for the rest of my days. I hope as I continue to grow and learn in this endeavor, my work will reflect my progress.
