Being 75 years old, I have lived in Chicago for most of my life. It's a city that holds so many memories for me, from my childhood to my adult years. However, about 10 years ago, I made the decision to move to Nile's Illinois, a small North Suburb that borders Chicago. It was a big change for me, leaving behind the hustle and bustle of the city and settling into a quieter and more peaceful community. But I have to say, it was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

One of the things that I have always loved doing, and still do, is taking photos. My camera has been my faithful companion throughout the years, capturing all the important moments in my life. From family gatherings to vacations, my camera has seen it all. But my favorite type of photography has always been street photography.

Another type of photography that I have always been drawn to is candid shots. There is something so raw and real about capturing people in their natural state, unaware of the camera. I have always been fascinated by human behavior and capturing candid moments allows me to freeze those brief, unguarded moments in time.

Lastly, I have to admit that I have a soft spot for taking photos of women wearing skirts and dresses. There is a certain elegance and grace to the way a woman carries herself in such attire. It's a timeless style that I have always admired and capturing it through my lens brings me great joy.
