About Me:: "My emphasis is on feeling, self expression, and growth. The artist is succesful only if he or she can use the tools at hand to express feelings. As a photographer, I try to become the subject of my camera. I "am" a shell, a doll, a leaf. I become the ideal woman my photograph of a female nude represents. I seek harmony." ~Ruth Bernhard

"Quit trying to find beautiful objects to photograph. Find the ordinary objects so you can transform it by photographing it." ~Morley Baer

"There are only two mantras" said Bernard. "Yum and yuk. Mine is yum."
~Tom Robbins, "Still Life with Woodpecker"

My Equipment: Canon EOS 50D
Sony DSC H50 Cyber Shot
Olympus C-750 Ultra Zoom
Hakuba Carbon Fiber Tripod
