And that happens almost every day so I just want to be there when it happens! Since first shooting pictures with a Kodak Instamatic Pocket camera at around twelve years of age, I have always enjoyed taking pictures -- regardless of the subject. When I turned sixteen years of age, I upgraded to an SLR camera which made me feel like a "real photographer!" But, it took the next thirty years to really
appreciate what photography brings to all of us - memories of people, places and other times in our lives that can never be replaced.
