I am very new to this kind of thing but I find that I like it a lot. I have traveled this country a lot but I am now seeing it though diferent eyes and the lenz of my camera. I have three growen children a very tolerant husband and an old dog I really love. I love to paint and plan on painting some of my better photos. I find the world is a very special place and when you photograph it you get to keep it forever and that in it's self is the reward.
