ssshhhhh... it's a secret

what attracted me to photo- graphy? i was quite young and i think i fell into it by accident but what kept me there, or kept me wanting to be there was the fact that when i went out to shoot with that camera i was in 'my' world; where no one could tell me i was wrong, where no one could tell me what to do and where no one could dictate to me how and/or when to do anything! and yes, i am stubborn, always will be.

there are a few things i hope to get out of the next ten months here at prairieview. most importantly though are the networking opportunities that i have already started building on both professionally and otherwise. as well, having previously studied basic business, self employment and photography, i'm anxious to delve into the 'business of photography' portion of this course. other than that all i want to do is explore and experience photography as it meshes with my own artistic and creative abilities as much as possible.

ps - i love dogs. rottis, danes, shepherds, boerbels, weimers, mastiffs and pits to name just a few and when i watch 'dog whisperer with cesar milan' i sometimes cry. no joke!
