I was gifted a camera 6 years ago and since then Eliza,Sara,Avery and Lucy have told stories with me. Our focus has been to tell stories of friendship and growing up in today's world. I believe that every parent's and grandparent's worry is what the young people see and hear and how they interpret the world around them. Every instinct tells us to protect them from our perceived evils and steer them toward our perceived truth.But they have inquiring minds and independent spirits. Each one different, each one ready for the road ahead and finding their own truths. Apple represents knowledge.
It has taken me quite a while to consider myself a photographer.In my lifetime I have been daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, empty nester, widow, and partner.Never in those years was I a photographer. Frankly, except for family memories, I didn't have time. Some might, and have said that I am stubborn.I prefer determined.When I had time later in my life to learn new skills, I decided to be determined about photography.It has been a Life changing,challenging new skill. I have always seen stories in the world around me,now I have a way to tell them.
