I first became interested in Photography when in Santa Fe New Mexico I happened by a photography studio. Displayed were several images of the same individual but with different facial expressions. I was struck with the brilliance of being able to capture the personality of people and their remarkable complexities. I am interested in being imaginative when taking a picture. The thought is that when everyone is relaxed and having fun, a great picture will result. Photography affords me the outlet to be my creative self."
