There is nothing but chaos in my mind… work, family, friends, obligations, appointments, meetings, house, car, bills, money, daydreams, questions, memories...too many things pulling me in too many directions. But then, I pick up my camera, and everything goes blissfully quite. There is nothing but that moment beauty around me. It is only when I have my camera in my hands that I can truly and completely enjoy and appreciate the beauty of nature around me. 1996 began my appreciation and love of photography when I registered for a basic B&W class my second year of college. I never used a SLR before and knew nothing about it. I had never liked taking pictures, and I don't know why I ever signed up for the class, but I fell in love quickly. I went on to take advanced B&W, color, and PhotoShop classes. While in college I got a job as the Lab Manager for Ritz Camera. I went on to work for Michaels Crafts as a Custom Framer. Currently I work for NJ Audubon. I have always enjoyed being outside. As I grew up, I spent my summers on the beach or knee deep in bay mud in Strathmere, and camping with the Girl Scouts or hiking club the rest of the year. As I got older I was able to explore more on my own. Photography is another way for me to enjoy nature, whether in my backyard or thousands of miles from home.
