As her best friend I can honestly say that I know Pattyjo better than anyone. I know she has a heart of gold, a passion to help others at any expense. She makes anyone feel special without effort, from the very young to the very old. She has a very sweet naivety about her, but a word to the wise.... don't cross her children or her husband or you'll have a Tigress on your hands. Her photography is an expression of her love. Although a relative beginner she has developed a wonderful style as her compositions speak wonders. I have taught her some basics, but her style comes from within. I watch as she gets frustrated with her two different Point and Shoot's and sometimes I'll coach while other times I allow her to wallow. On a recent night we had a full moon. Her frustration brought her to tears as she tried so hard to get a clear shot of one of the most difficult shots any photographer can take. I couldn't stand to see her this way so handed her my Canon DSLR all preset for the shot... after several shots with that she said.." that's not so hard".. sweet naivety!! It's a good thing I'm a patient guy... lol, oh and I'm not only her best friend, I am also her husband. Carry on my Dear... you're making fantastic progress. I love you.
