Me? I like to take pictures. I like to make things with my hands. I'm the photo editor for www.100wordstory.org. I've worked ... as a dishwasher, for a florist, as a caterer, in the restoration department of a library, in an ice cream parlor, as a portrait photographer, in a breakfast cafe, an photo platform start-up, a design studio, a mom, a fortune 500 company, as a waitress and a writer ... I like to work.
I've been taking pictures with Nikon cameras since I was a kid. I still have my first camera, a Nikkormat hand-me-down from my grandfather that weighs more than my dog. Aside from a brief stint with a Yashikamat, a quick flirtation with a Canon Powershot, a couple of dusty Polaroid cameras waiting for The Impossible Project and a little iPhone obsession, I love my Nikons.
I love taking pictures of people. Portraits. Especially kids. But I find stills and landscapes, nature and food much more challenging. So I am trying to do more of that. Love natural light and my 50mm 1.4. Don't use Photoshop or Lightroom. I would rather spend my time out in the world behind my camera than in front of a screen.
