In 2020 I spent a lot of time on the back deck with the insects. I was mesmerized.Although always cautious, they let me into their fascinating world.I witnessed fights, connections and moments.Many.This year and last year we attended basketball games and when I saw the girls rolling on the ground fighting over the ball it reminded me of my moments with the bees and ants.Then I could see the connections everywhere.This idea grew from the memories and the moments spent in the human and insect world. Connections.
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.
