Cameras have always intrigued me.  When I was young, I really liked instamatics and waiting for the images to show up right in front of my eyes.  It was like magic!  I joined 4-H in Sacramento and when Photography was offered several years later, I joined.  At that time I used my dad’s film camera.  Our instructor Wayne worked for the local newspaper the “Folsom Telegraph”.

I know that not everyone will like every photo that I take, but it is really nice when a photo I take means a lot to someone.  One of my favorites is the photo to the right.  I took this of my in-laws as they were walking down a trail.   We framed it and gave it to them for Christmas and they liked it so much, they wanted another copy for their winter home.

My hope that everyone visiting my exhibition will see something that moves them and that they enjoy.  Thank you so much for visiting and viewing my work.
