I have been shooting photos for 30+ years and mostly self-taught but did take some classes through adult education. Was in a photo club for 5-6 years and really miss it. Have not found another near where I live. I enjoy shooting flowers, nature, animals, birds, objects. I shoot a variety of things but don't consider myself a "people" photographer. I have shot some weddings, two as the photographer, others as a bystander. I like using editing programs to improve my photos and enhance my creativity. I am also a crafter and enjoy cross stitch, crocheting, flower arranging, and jewelry making among my top favorites. Photography is my first love, though.
