TELL US A BIT ABOUT YOUR PATH TO GET THERE: I have always been drawn to photography even as a young child , took classes in high school and college. I forgot about it when I graduated got a corporate American career and came back once I had my first child.

SHARE YOUR FAVOURITE IMAGE WITH US AND TELL US WHY: This image below was taken at the Kurt Boomer’s workshop in fall 2015 and it was the very first time I actually shot on full manual focus while shooting film and with movement involved.
