I have loved photography for most of my life, learning on Kodak brownie cameras, Instamatics, and graduating to 35mm sometime in my college years. In 2003 I started using digital cameras and although I have taken photography classes, I still have a long way to go. The journey is fun and I appreciate all the helpful and encouraging comments my flickr pals have given me. My contacts give me daily inspiration.

Here are some of my Explored photos:

1. Dallas gets a little snow, 2. Thanksgiving Chapel, 3. downtown skyline seen from east side of lake, 4. passionate for photographing Passion Flowers, 5. Narcissus, 6. Ranunculus, 7. reflecting pool at The AT&T Performing Arts Center

A note to fellow FOUNTAIN PEN enthusiasts, collectors, artists, and calligraphers:

My handmade pen wraps temporarily out of stock. I am working on a revision to my design so that each wrap is not as labor-intensive. Take a look at my album "Pen Wraps and other Handsewn items" to see examples of my work.
