It has been a while. Photography, time wise, has given way to fine woodworking classes for a bit. Those classes are all consuming, time and energy wise. Friends incorrectly think I have given up photography.

 

It may sound strange, but the woodworking teaches me a new way of seeing. Summer 2015.

 

I am passionate about a great many things; photography continues to be one of them. But as always, the quest for balance eludes me.

I invite you to take a long hard look at this fine photostream. Go back deep into the recesses here and then work forward to present day. What you will notice right away from looking at the early photos is that Laura has a natural talent for being on the viewfinder side of the camera. You will notice her innate talent, but also you get a sense of someone who at this point in time is still a bit unsure of herself. Now begin to work your way through too present day, pay careful attention because all the work is good, but you will begin to notice you are viewing the work of someone becoming very comfortable in her own skin. You will begin to realize you are viewing the work of a talented Photographer. Now I invite you to just sit there and smile because I am sure that is exactly what you are doing. You have just shared a growth journey with a real talent. How darn cool is that?

She has an artistic eye which enables her to create the most wonderful textured images but we mustn’t think that’s all she’s about; she puts a great deal of thought… Read more

Laura is just the most caring, warmest person I’ve met on Flickr. She loves her flowers, her garden and people, though she professes to like animals more! She has an artistic eye which enables her to create the most wonderful textured images but we mustn’t think that’s all she’s about; she puts a great deal of thought into her compositions, her portraits are stunning and her still life shots are very special. She is by no means the finished article; she has a desire to constantly improve and is learning all the time. She lives, eats and breathes photography, adores colour, is caring, encouraging and compassionate. Laura is a real southern lady and..........I count it as a great privilege to know her and call her a friend.
