I knew from an early age that music was not a strong talent, so I concentrated on my art in school. Then came marriage, work and children, art was put on a back burner. After receiving a digital camera in 2004, I took some on-line classes in digital and nature photography. Adobe Photoshop became a playground for my newly released talent. Because my husband had used Canon lenses on his film cameras, I purchased a Canon T1i and I had a ready made set of toys to use. After retiring in 2008, I finally had time to play seriously. In 2009 I won third place in a Missouri Forces of Nature Contest with a photograph of Angry Clouds. I joined Summit Art, an organization in Lee's Summit, that exhibits photographs and paintings in St Luke's East Hospital. I have participated in many art shows and now I want to share my photographs with others. I plan on taking more lessons, and I have a yearning for more information on lighing, color and presentation.
