Purchasing my first Nikon (FT2) in 1976 was both exciting and daunting.  The challenge of learning a new skill and the ability to capture moments in time to share with family and friends was inspiring.

As life happens and a family matures, you have to put aside dreams to focus on the challenges ahead.  Timing is everything – in photography and in life.

Now, as I flip the page on the old and embrace new horizons (literally), the world is an open manuscript with portfolios yet to be taken.

In 2015, a new course was charted and the road straightened its direction. That’s when photography became more than a hobby and I was able to unleash my passion. Every day is a new adventure and every day is a challenge to myself – take a better photograph than yesterday.

God has blessed us with an amazing planet. Each new day is to be cherished. Explore the landscape of local regions as they come alive. Envision the glorious beginnings of another new day or the magnificent culmination as a sun recedes below the horizon. Imagine the sounds of the ocean waves as they roll ashore.  The wonders of watching a color-filled sky to the majesty of dynamic lightning bolt structures; each experience is breathtaking unto itself.

Never stop exploring, asking questions, learning from others, experimenting with new ideas, and most of all, having fun with the creativity.

I’m excited to share this never-ending journey with you by “capturing beauty in focus”.  Thank you so much for traveling this road with me.
