I have lived in Pittsburgh, PA most of my life with the exception of meeting my husband at CMU in 1984. He had taken a job with IBM Florida. We married in '87. We have three wonderful children and live in the North Hills now.

I got my first 110 camera for Christmas from my father in 1978. I take pictures of anything and everything. Some people want to take my camera and hit me with it, of course until some one dies and I have the only pictures of them alive.

I don't pretend to be a good photographer, what I do is record life so that when I’m very old, God willing, I can look back on my life and remember all the people who influenced me through life.

I particularly like hanging out with the Pittsburgh's Exposure Group because I can take pictures fairly freely with no..."Put the camera away!"
