I began taking pictures a long time ago with a brownie camera.  I loved the way it squeaked when you turned the button to advance the film!  Later, it was an Olympus where I promptly lost all my pictures on my first trip to Europe due to a faulty rewind button.   Next up was a hand me down Nikon Nikkormat with a great 50mm lens.   I acquired a vivitar zoom lens and boy, did I have a lot of fun with that camera.  As time went on, the camera went into the closet and then digital hit the market.   My first digital was a small Canon that was a great little pocket camera.   It reignited my passion for photography and slowly the cameras have grown.   Now, I am a Nikon girl, so I stick to what I know and enjoy taking pictures with my latest.

My hubby, Shawn, is the true developer of the pictures.   I see the shot, take it, and he is the post processor, if anything needs to be tweeked.  I am slowly learning this process and it always amazes me how we can both see the same pictures in a totally different way.

We hope you enjoy our pictures as we travel around to learn how others live, see strange animals, and enjoy food and vistas we do not have at home.
