I am very interested in photography as a hobby and with the help of my Flickr Friends I am learning how to be a better photographer. I especially enjoy photographing the amazing sunsets that we are privileged to have here in Southwest Florida as well as the exotic birds and beautiful flowers that bloom year 'round here.

 

I am a professional flutist and have performed with many groups for over 20 years. My performing groups include the Venice Symphony, Port Charlotte Symphony, The Sarasota Concert Band and the trio Unique.

 

Most of my days are spent teaching elementary school general music classes, helping children learn to sing songs, move to music, play instruments and create their own music.

“Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography.”~Quote by George Eastman
