An amature photographer since childhood, I picked it up from my mom who recorded her adventures through photography and photographed everything we did as a family. I enjoy the memories. I estimate, based on the photo albums I have filled in my lifetime, that I have nearly 10,000 photographs of family and friends. At least once a week, my husband pages through the albums at night when he can't sleep. My husband and I are retired from education and now have the time to do many things that allow for great photo opportunities. I now publish a line of photocards and show my framed pieces at various venues including juried shows.
