About Me

My photo
St. George, Utah, United States
I'm just a woman with a camera, having an outrageous time! I carry my camera like most women carry a hand-bag. I especially like (and see) beauty in forgotten things. I love OLD buildings, rusty vehicles, fences and posts and details. When I’m photographing people, I love: natural expressions. relationships. simplicity. smiles. emotion. sweetness. laughter. shyness. grumpy frowns. silly giggles. stubborness. bare feet and a neat personality that just shines.

My favorite IMAGES of 2011



"Photography is an art of observation.
It's about finding something interesting 
in an ordinary place ... 
It has little to do with 
the things we see
 and everything to do 
with the way we see them ..."
~ Elliott Erwitt ~


This is a gathering of my 
FAVORITE images from 2011.
I had a difficult time choosing
 from this year's collection.
I put so much of ME into looking for,
snapping AND enjoying everything about 
ALL of my images. 

This is 
MY JOY ~ MY LOVE ~
MY PASSION.
