Just a small glimpse into my world, which would not at all be possible without the encouragement and support from my best friend, love of my life – my loving husband. For some inexplicable reason, he is smitten with me and for that I am truly blessed.

My love of capturing things took on a life of it’s own, when my husband and I went on a hike while we were dating. He watched me slip into the icy water of a shallow creek because I had, I mean, I had to get a picture of the creek from this spot. After his light lecturing on my safety and how one could freeze to death, blah blah blah, I got the picture. The only “equipment” I owned, was my cell phone.

It should come as no shocker, but I’ve often heard the following:

• You should come with a warning label. Which usually results in me saying there isn’t enough space on me to cover everything.
• How have you survived? Usually results in me responding a child-like voice “I dunno”.

A couple of weeks later, he decided to give me my Christmas present early. He said if I was that passionate about getting a picture to risk falling into the icy creek and having to hiking e a few miles back to the truck, then a real camera was the only suitable gift. So I married him.

The stories shared are true events from my life, narrated by my warped sense of humor. The imagery is the way I see the world.

vive ut vivas — live that you may live
