“I never thought of myself as doing anything other than telling stories”
– Erich Lessing
If you are viewing my photos, you are viewing my life, dreams and adventures. You are also most likely marked as a "friend," since the majority of my photos are not public. My photo stream here on flickr is mainly a personal journal of what I see, feel, and experience in life, all while enjoying my biggest passion -- photography. I do journal a lot of what's going on in my life but feel free to ignore that part and see the photos themselves, Working on my degree and getting a little extra motivation now and then from having won a few contests, having photos chosen by the Library of Congress and occasionally shown by my local TV station. Still learning. All photos are my property; do not use for any reason without my permission. Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a look. :-)

Jeanne has a very creative photostream where she shows us the beautiful city of Chicago and a little bit of her daily life: the work, the way home, family, some trips... and she is a very nice person. I'm sure if we didn't live so far away we would probably become great friends. Tks Jeanne!

Jeanne's photo collection is an amazing diary of daily life in downtown Chicago. She captures the events and people that make the city work. Her pictures highlight the ever-changing mood of the city and are a joy to view. She has an amazing eye for the photographic moment and frames her subjects perfectly. She has helped me out more than once, and I am confident she will assist anyone when called upon. Jeanne is a special photographer and, more importantly, a special person........

Read lessI love the City of Chicago and it's obvious that Jeanne does, as well. She is modest in her expectations, because she has only a "point and shoot" camera.

I love the City of Chicago and it's obvious that Jeanne does, as well. She is modest in her expectations, because she has only a "point and shoot" camera. But her photos demonstrate that it's not the camera, it's the eye of the photographer, the concept of design and the sense of wonder that make for great pictures. In much the same way that I enjoy going into the City to see what I might find, I enjoy looking at Jeanne's photographs.

Your pictures let appear even a super large City like Chicago beautiful. I am looking forward to see more of it. Thanks for it and… Read more
