love of shutterbug

My earliest memories of playing with a camera was back in the day with Tracey, Toni and Kelli. We somehow got our little hands on some fabric, set my room up like a studio and using my old walkman as a pretend camera, I took pictures of my beautiful models

Next memory: doing the exact same thing only with a real camera and with my poor cousins!

Oh! and then with another camera I was on a boat taking pictures of Sam the wake boarder...I was watching Sam from behind the camera and the next thing I know I am being thrown out of the boat....as someone was reaching for my hand to save me. I said, "Don't worry about me, just grab my camera!" Liz and I swam to shore with my camera above my head-it never got wet, but was never the same.

Then I used the disposable cameras for a bit. About 2 years ago I bought my Olympus and totally love it.

I love taking pictures. I am in love with the notion that I am capturing a moment in time, that from behind the camera...only I can see its charm and potential.

I really hope you enjoy my blog, I am so excited that I have found a way to share another passion of my life.

I have found a photo shop for now that I am relatively content with using. I have always felt that a photo should speak for itself, but I decided that messing with some shadows, mid-tones and highlights, I am not reeeeally disturbing the integrity of the photo...just amplifying it....I guess. (the jury is still out on the photo shopping tho)

All photos were taken in San Diego!!
