I get excited every time I get the chance to write or research. It has always been a strange passion of mine and so has photography.

I love to look at things in a different way, and to be able to tell a story beyond the lens of my camera. In college I spent many hours in the dark room, and was even allowed access after I graduated. I remember one project where we were challenged to take photos without manually focusing, but instead had to get close enough that it brought itself into focus. I love to find the things that are not ordinary. Many in my class did close ups of flowers...I did a close up of...well, bird poo. Why not? If that gives you any insight into my mind. (and no, I don't photograph poo...that was a one time thing...the contrast was unique.)
