As a retired research professional of 30 years I found the need to find a breath of fresh air. My retirement hobby has grown into a passion. Looking through a lens and capturing images has become part of my day to day routine. Photography has added to the balance of my life and offers the freedom to create. What is behind the eye of an animal or the swell of the ocean? What is the story of the broken window or the closed door? What is beyond that which we see? These are questions I look to answer through my lens. My husband and I have traveled the United States, Canada, and Europe. I've had the pleasure of capturing images that reflect the beauty of each place and feed my passion of taking and editing images.
