About me

Industry Communications or Media
Occupation Certified photographer, freelance writer
Location Canada
Introduction is a documentary photographer who also happens to be — mirabile dictu — "a passionate, emotional writer" (Jeffrey Reed). And there's more! Every now and again, she comes up for air to welcome you, hoping you'll stay awhile. C'mon back now, y'hear!

Interests building portfolios of documentary photography, honing writing skills, traveling off the beaten track, reading history and politics of given eras and areas (currently Eastern Europe during WW2), solidifying productive friendships.
Favorite Movies Any well-executed package, where good stories weave with smart screenwriting, expert acting, and creative vantage points. Enjoys works from the Spanish and Argentine cinemas, especially political docu-dramas.
Favorite Music A broad gamut, mostly classical, a favourite composer being J.S. Bach and family. But really, any melody with a good base line works for me.
Favorite Books Not much of a fiction reader, but did enjoy "A Fine Balance" by Rohynton Mistry, and several works by J.M. Coetzee. Non-fiction: travelogues by the Rough Guide; atlases; photography how-to's and polemics on the Second World War.
