Photography is an inner love for me. It is a way for me to connect my spirit to the world and share how I see the world with those around me. It's a constant with me like a worn Linus blanket. I think I was 8 or 9 when I got my first camera with the square flash bulbs. I took photography classes in high school and college. I struggled with retiring my Mamiya film camera for a digital camera. A whole new world. Pros and Cons. Now I've fully embraced the digital art. I lament those days of lingering in a dark room for hours but rejoice these days of instant gratification.
