I love capturing the moment. The focus on a particular face, or flower, or tree, or street scene brings me a sense of heightened awareness, of connection. Often, an adrenaline surge that suspends time totally in the present. Just for this moment, I feel a deep bond with what I see, hear, smell and feel.

Although I cherish nature, especially flowers and trees, and beautiful and historic places, the last few years have seen a shift in my subject matter to include many more faces. I have been fortunate to be able to travel, and to meet many people of different cultures, religions, and ways of living. Some of this has happened through my membership in the Friendship Force and Soroptimist International, and some by introduction or chance, a combination of planning and being open to the moment.
