My Dad taught me basic snapshots as a child. He gave me the very camera upon which I learned when I was 30 (Minolta SRT 101). I shot the birth of a dear friend’s first child (to have access to such an event!) and I was hooked. I was a photog.
Light is my friend and my enemy. I get chills when it is ‘just so’. I don’t know how I would live without a camera.
