Growing up and currently residing in Northwest Indiana, I came to love Photography while spending two years in Alaska nearly 20 years ago. Photography taught me to see the world around me in a whole new perspective. I never realized that in my own backyard, nature was so amazing!! Photography allows me to capture just a small glimpse of what surrounds all of us each day. Flickr allows me to share my passion with others who share that same desire to capture the world around them, and I am grateful for that!
