About me:
I love to tell folks that I'm a native Rochesterian. I'm also a proud product of our public school system, including college at SUNY Geneseo. I was fairly able to follow my passions in school: music, English and history. Since I wasnʼt serious enough to become an accomplished violinist, I ended up teaching. In teaching English and history one becomes a forever student; both are ever changing.

The student part of me is what brought me to NYFalls. Photography, for fun or purpose is constantly changing and I need direction, help, a teacher. NYFalls provides a community of teachers!

I've shared my photo efforts on Capture Rochester and with friends but I'm not a professional in any sense of the word. While I may have “The Eye” for some fine results, I'm not at all technically inclined. Shutter speed settings and lens options boggle me, but I'm learning.

What I bring to NYFalls is a great appreciation for the art of photography and the unending excitement I get in researching the areas that NYFalls photographers explore and record with cameras. Yes, I try to hunt down history or interesting tid-bits about the photo projects that are pursued.

Like so many of us who never leave home without a camera, Iʼm open to any photo adventure. A colorful weed on the side of the road, wonderful light sneaking out between clouds, or a powerful old building in a city may just pull my car to the side of the road. While there are incredible subjects awaiting the photographerʼs perspective the adventure, for me, is in the capture.

So, you could run into me anywhere when youʼre out for a shoot. Iʼll have my trusty point and shoot if itʼs a spur of the moment sort of thing and two cameras if there is purpose to my photo adventure. I may be on my knees or perched upon rock. Do say hello if you see me!
