I have been taking photographs for around 10 years now, starting in college when I got my first serious camera. It has moved in and out of focus in my life but has always been present. Black and white film is still my medium of choice, possibly because it is such a dying art these days. I shoot photos with either my Nikon 35mm, my first SLR, or a YashicaMat 2 ¼ that I appropriated from my husband. I strive to capture any image that strikes me the best I can with my camera and do minimal adjusting in my tiny darkroom at my house. Since I print my own photographs, I do not mass-produce individual prints. My subjects range from architecture to landscapes to self-portraits to close-ups of my morning coffee. My photos are little fractions of seconds of beautiful moments in my life.

I have only been taking photos for a few years and have no formal training. But as my passion for photography has grown, so has my interest in sharing and selling my work. I particularly enjoy taking photos of the everyday things people walk by, but give little notice to – buildings, signs, reflections. My preferred style is typically B&W with lots of highlights, shadows and contrast, and usually with little to no editing. It's amazing how often the ordinary can appear extraordinary.
As for me, I grew up in Iowa and studied graphic design. I’ve worked in advertising and public relations for several years, enjoying seeing the work come alive through TV, the Internet, in print and even on store shelves. But what I really enjoy is the opportunity I have through my photography to capture a single moment and share it with others.
