About Me

​

My interest in photography started in the 1980’s while still living in South Africa.  The equipment I used there was rather simple and I was not very adventurous in exploring all that photography had to offer.  Since moving to the USA, the hobby has become a passion.  I have really enjoyed being part of camera clubs, taking on various administrative positions, including being president.  It is truly wonderful to discuss and explore photography with likeminded enthusiasts.    I am married and am extremely lucky to share an avid interest in all forms of photography with my husband, Mervyn.

I enjoy most aspects of photography.  With more travel in my life, landscapes have become fun.  Along those lines I do look for intimate landscapes and close ups.   Macro is fascinating.

As I have grown in my photographic ability, monochrome has grabbed my attention.   Developing the ability to see in black and white is a constant learning process.    It seemed to be a natural extension of my photography to try infrared.   I love the crisp results one gets from infrared.   I am starting to develop some color infrared which give some interesting results.

As an artist and a photographer, it is my goal to try to look at subjects that are fairly ordinary and use my ability to transform them into something extraordinary .
