Get The Picture

Despite my current status one thing remains dominant in my life - photography and the arts.

Though I was an early reader I preferred picture books, and still do. I've danced and played piano since 7 and still do. I'd sneak out the family camera and make scrap books of my life. Gifts were my photographs and other creations. I was Topsy in "Uncle Tom's Cabin". Participation in Drum Corps dominated my adolescent years and I still follow it. I received the music honors award in HS and my college improv theater instructor recorded my performance for a grant proposal. I graduated with a BS in Interdisciplinary Arts.

Except for when someone convinced me to sell real estate in 1986 all my work had been as a creative.

Then I got a camera.
After that all my work has included that tool; the perfect tool to incorporate all the arts.

I didn't find photography. Photography found me and has determined my life - a creative life of making photographs.
