A couple of weeks ago I stumbled upon the International Bow Hunting Competition. So, while my partner played golf, I got to know some of the competitors. It was arrival day, so they were warming up and getting ready to compete the next day. When asked they didn't mind me taking photos. I was impressed by their marksmanship and friendly attitude. And accuracy of course.
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.
