Hello all,

I enjoy all your comments, tips, faves and invites! Thank you so much for taking the time to visit and look at my pictures! I am very glad and honored!

One reason why I enjoy photography so much is because it naturally slows me down. Photography is an exercise in patience and persistence. I can't tell you how long I've waited for birds to make up their minds whether to take off or not, how many photos of the kidlets I've taken before I settled on one expression, how many clouds I waited to pass across the sky to achieve the highest brightness and longest shadows, the number of intersection lights to turn green so I could shoot car headlights in motion blur, the aerial shots I wasted trying to focus through a spotty airplane window, and oh boy, the many shots I missed entirely because I couldn't change the batteries fast enough or I filled up the memory card to capacity with lots of dud pictures!

When I think of how many shots I discard, keep, try to fix, and eventually upload the ratio is something like 20:1 or worse. In film terms, that would make photography a prohibitively expensive hobby. I'm glad I belong to a generation when I can remember film as the norm and appreciate digital for what it's been able to afford me: practise. I can continue learning without breaking my bank account.

err... Well, you better send me a sitemail if you want/need to know more about me! :)

BTW: do you want to give me a Pro account here? THANKS! :)
