8 Things About ME!

There's a little photographer game going 'round...and my friend Sherri Winstead has tagged me... so I get to tell you a 8 little known facts about me. Gee, thanks girl. ;0)

1)I've lived outside our great country...and lots of different states, too. I lived in England and Turkey for many years. I have also lived in Indiana, New Hampshire, Montana, Washington State, Texas and Florida. I absolutely adore different cultures and experiencing new things.

2)..but I cannot speak any other languages.

3)I have a quiet voice, which means I have to make an effort to raise it during group portraits at a wedding.

4)To relax by myself I: read, sleep, drink wine, paint. With friends: talking is my favorite. With my kids: movies. With John: rummy or poker.

5)I've been married before. Yep. I married someone at 19 that I'd known for a few months. We divorced one year later. Maybe a great reason to have a long engagement!

6)I met John when I was active duty Air Force. I looked very much like Private Benjamin, only a different uniform. I had a Top Secret clearance for what I did, and I did it in a building with no windows, and two entry-controlled doors. It drove me nuts...

7)because I LOVE natural light.

8)And about photography... it feels so great. I truly love documenting weddings. I have no current ambition to own a studio. I see myself maybe adding commercial or news work in a few years. My first camera was a Pentax Asahi Spotmatic... I still own it, plus a Mamiya 67RB as well as a little plastic Holga. None of those have been dusted off and used in years. Digital is completely a different animal than film...not necessarily better, just different.


OK...I don't network nearly enough... but now I have to tag 5 others!
