My name is Michelle and I live in Central New York. I was born in the south (Virginia) and migrated to the North when I was 10. I'm a wife and mom of three children. I first joined Flickr in 2006. I have learned so much about photography from all of my wonderful friends and flickr contacts. I can't thank y'all enough for all the positive and encouraging comments.

I am in no way a professional photographer and don't want to be. I take photo's of whatever inspires me at the time. My editing is limited to Picnik and Microsoft Digital Imaging. I like to have fun with my photography and will shoot some pretty strange things. I always explain the method behind my madness so you don't think I am completley bonkers.

I am a co admin at two groups:

Please think about a few things before you try and add me as a contact. If your stream and favorites are littered with porn I will block you. If you favorite any photo's of my kids and don't explain why, not only will I block you, but I will hunt you down like a dog. Don't add me as a contact if you are just out collecting contacts for the sport of it. I despise that.

If you want to blog a photo of mine please ask before doing so.
