First fell in love with photography in college as a journalism student in photojournalism class some 30 years ago (oops...I'm dating myself) while attending Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville. First camera was a Minolta SRT 101 -- still have. Then minor details -- like life, career, parenthood. etc. -- intervened. Got my first DSLR in July 2010 and have rekindled my love affair with the camera.
