BACKGROUND
I've always felt a strong connection to animals and nature, and I enjoy capturing their beauty in everyday surroundings -- often what you can see if you take a minute to stop and look around. I've become particularly fascinated with the beauty of tiny (and sometimes not so tiny!) creatures hanging out on plants and flowers (insects), as well as the elegance and intricacies of vegetable plants as they grow.
I don't digitally alter my images -- except for a crop here and there to allow for an extreme closeup, or the edit on the Squirrel Nutkin shot to get rid of a "present" a bird left behind on the platform -- what you see is what I saw. All of the photos in my gallery were taken in beautiful Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
I've been a photographer for as long as I can remember. I started with a little point-and-shoot camera when I was in grade school, and moved up to a 35mm SLR in high school (it's still in the closet -- I don't know that I'll use it again, but I just can't get rid of it!). I had a makeshift darkroom in our basement, thanks to a family friend unloading some equipment -- no running water except for the washing machine, so things were a little, well, interesting. :) I bought my first digital camera back in the mid-'90s, and it served me well for over ten years. I decided it was time to move up to a digital SLR in 2007, though, and I'm so glad I made the move.
I've also been involved with print and digital publications for many years as an editor, a designer, and a publication layout artist.
