.. I like to think of myself as outside the box... that said, I have lived a sheltered life ,but have been trying to explore & travel in this vast unknown land without containment for years ... without a map. (don't think I would of used it even if there was one) I have been lost a time or two.

My camera goes everywhere with me. I learned the hard way why you back up your computer. I feel like I am starting over and have nothing to fall back on (image wise)

I started using my Dads camera at about 13 and film/processing was expensive even if you screwed up, sorry Dad. I would run to Mom and Dad saying "look it " everytime that envelope came home (which somehow got shorted to wook-it ) For a HighSchool Graduation gift they gave me my own 35mm camera.

I have an eye for moments and I want those and not so much a pose or a poser

My daughter has allowed me to photograph her for years as she has built her modeling portfolio, which work out well for her and I learned lots.

Guess what... posing for a moment is freaking possible, not easy but my little girl believed in me and the results helped her.

This place called Flickr is full of not only amazing photographs but some most supportive artists...

PLEASE leave comments and if you add something to your favs let me know why you like it ... Im sure you understand why... Thanks for taking time to read this and I sincerely wish you a peace filled and productive rest of today.
