I have been interested in photography from my early teenage years. I started with a point and shoot camera and then moved to a Pentax ME Super (a fantastic little camera). Then digital came along and I settled on Nikon, first a DSLR and now the mirrorless Z8, although I still have my D7500, which is a great camera.

In my early years I was mainly doing travel photography and family shots. In my career as an academic optometrist and researcher, I had the opportunity to travel to some special places, including Tanzania, Kenya, Australia, Hawaii, Jamaica and of course I always took a camera – film camera for many of these trips. This started a love of wildlife photography. Marrying Doug, a keen animal lover, has strengthened this interest and now we travel together to places where we can see wildlife.

Now that I am retired, I have more time to spend on photography. This fits well with my interest in birds. So many of my photos are of birds. But I also photograph other animals, landscapes, flowers, street scenes and close-ups and play with creative images. I am always trying to improve and belonging to two camera clubs is very instrumental in that goal.

Most of my photography is in South-West Ontario and I seek for local places to shoot.
