Like the country song "live like you were dying - I went sky diving, I went Rocky Mountain climbing, I went 3.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Manchu" - you get the idea where I am. Don't count the days - make the days count:-)

I have a huge hole in my soul because I lost my wonderful husband, Bill. He wasn't my better half - he was my other half.

This says so much - Life is too short to wake up with regrets so love the people who treat you right. Love the ones who don't just because you can. Believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Kiss slowly. Forgive quickly. God never said that life would be easy - he just promised that it would be worth it.

I have begun to promote select images for stock usage complete with releases. Many of my images are registered with the US copyright office and the images posted on Flickr are all rights reserved - to be utilized only with prior permission from me.

Please note that images are all rights reserved and please respect legal copyright. Hi-resolution images are available with minimum 2000 along longest side upon request and with permission. Unauthorized use shall be considered agreement to reimburse photographer (me!) at minimum rate of $5000.00 USD/image in addition to 10% gross revenues realized from the internet site, publication, etc. Other rates are available if negotiated in advance.

Because the most recent violator of copyright pulled 103 images of which I became aware, the permissions on my images have been changed to private. If there is an image which you would like to see available for viewing again, please message me and let me know. I will work on reloading my images with watermark and as I reload them, I will change the permissions to allow viewing once again.

I haven't made the move yet to digital - still shoot 35mm. I utilize Minolta Maxxum camera body and my lens include Maxxum, Sigma, Tamron, and Tokina.

I'm always open to meeting new people so feel free to drop me a line.

I am posting on Flickr to share images with family and friends and in order to receive feedback - whether positive or negative as long as it's constructive so feed away!!! Thanks.
