| Introduction | Sharing my passion for photography and hand-coloring played a significant role in my decision to start this blog. The road getting here was filled with twists and turns and surprises at every curve. I was not one of those people who dreamed of becoming an artist as a child. I also did not dream about a career as an accountant either, but that’s where I was headed. I attended colleges up and down the state of California but when I was in my mid thirties and the mother of two adorable preschoolers, I started taking classes at Sacramento State University. Here I was, on track to fulfilling my requirements for an accounting degree, when I decided to take a photography class to satisfy an art requirement. I had taken Photo 101 before, but something about this class ignited a flame that many would say was an obsessive but passionate love of photography. I could not get enough. I was the first to come to class and the last to leave. I read all the books I could get my hands on and even talked my husband into turning one of our bathrooms into a darkroom. I never did get my accounting degree but I am one of the few artists I know that can do their own sales tax return! |
