Introduction	I didn’t find photography. Photography found me. And then it healed me. I became interested in photography when I was little. My grandma had two vintage suitcases full of old pictures from way back to the 1800's. I would sit on the floor and look through them again and again into my teenage years. She also had a 30's/40's camera box that she held at her waist level looking into a glass tube and snap. I thought her camera was so odd-looking compared to other people's cameras in the 70's. I got my own 35mm camera when I was 16 and took some photography classes in high school. I always thought I would be a photographer. When I got out of high school, advertising was very hard because there was no technology to do it through, so I did not start my dream of becoming a photographer right away. Many years later, I became an assistant for a wedding photographer. After a few years, I started doing my own independent work, which brought me to where I am today. I have a friend, LR, who is also a great photographer. We always shoot together for fun, and from time-to-time she will help me with jobs that I need help with, such as weddings.
Interests	Photography, and I go to almost all arts and crafts festival. I love to collect quotes.
