How I Got Into Photography
Welcome to my beautiful Nature Photography site. I thought I would take this opportunity to give you some insight about who I am and why I got into photography in the first place.
Photography has always been an interest to me for as long as I can remember, but I never really pursued it as a hobby or profession. It was when I started working in health care that I really developed an interest in Photography. Photography was something that I could do that didn't involve thinking about work, which for me was important simply because my job was in a very high stress environment mentally and emotionally.
When I would go out with my camera on board I started noticing the small things in Nature, things that I would have normally just walked right by and not even realized or acknowledge the fact that I had just missed seeing a beautiful piece of the world. Slowly I became addicted to photography enjoying the exercise, feedom of thought, inspirtation and touching a need within myself to be connected more with nature.
I'm 40 years old with a wonderful husband and two beautiful sons. I grew up on Vancouver Island and just recently relocated to Elbow Saskatchewan. I have a love for animals and we have three dogs, and two cats!! Wow I know....I think I might have to buy a farm one day.
I have a passion for hiking, reading, being around large bodies of water and I love to garden. Flowers lots and lots of flowers!!!
I'm a self taught photographer having read up on all different photography tecniques and applying them into my work. I learn something new everyday and I love that. I've also developed a very deep rooted understanding of light...for a photographer it's a integral part of producing quality works of art.
Thank you for stopping bye to look at how I see Nature through the lens of my Camera.
