HELLO and THANK YOU for taking the time to read my profile

Portuguese born, partly raised in the US, Mormon (LDS) missionary in Arizona and ex BYU student. Presently, I live in Belgium with my husband, Tom, and our two adopted children, Jeroen and Liam. We also have two dogs, Max and Bosco, and two cats, Mieko and BabyKat. Anything you feel you'd like to know, drop me a message and ask ;-)

In about 45 days I'll be moving to Gabon for work, which will be my temporary home for a while.

I am not a professional photographer. Hell, I'm probably not even a very good amateur photographer. But I do like photography, I read about it and I like to dabble in it.

Flickr has helped me come in contact with all different types of photographers - professional, amateur, semi-professional, occasional snapshot takers - and I learn new stuff from each and everyone.

My collections are about 99% of photos I've taken. The 1% are photos I have come across which I find funny, interesting, etc. or they were taken by my husband or one of my kids.

I use a Kodak EasyShare Z650

Here's how I interpret Flickr's contact categories - borrowed from someone else on Flickr:

Family: This, to quote diva Griffin, is for "my gays" :-)

Friends: My friends and family who aren't gay

Family & Friends: My gays that are also good friends

Contacts: People that I don't know well but enjoy their photos :-)

If you want to be added/taken out of any of these categories, just fire me an email :-)
