Hello from Florida, USA.

I have had a camera in my hands since I was 8 years of age. Photography has brought so many delightful opportunities and experiences into my life. University-level courses and amateur classes have spurred my interest and broadened my understanding and ability.

This group is inspiring and enlightening in my journey to become a better photographer. I am always open to critique. It is helpful to have suggestions on ways to see things a little better.
