I love family, children, food, wine, travel and photography, sort of in that order. Technically I need more instruction but I have a good eye for composition and light. I've been on a hiatus for a while. I had a pseudonym once, two really, Laila and Patsy DeMaria. I remember Photosig. I love film but had to give up my darkroom when we moved from an expanded bungalow in the 'burbs to a row home in the city. This year was a good time to look at negatives and digital work. I'm a little overwhelmed. I need new work. I need a focus. I'm going to try.
