forestlady's photostream
|
My interest in photography began at an early age. In the 5th grade I entered and won a photo competition at the school that I attended. I purchased my first SLR camera (Canon FTb) when I was in my 20's but when the camera no longer worked due to the advance mechanism breaking I went on to other artistic pastimes. I purchased my first DSLR (Canon Digital Rebel XTi) in 2007 and since then I've been hooked on photography and Flickr in a big way. I was born and raised in Southern California and recently moved to Northern Michigan (Lower Peninsula) to retire with my husband. I have three children, 6 grandchildren, and one dog.
I'm currently a microstock photographer working exclusively with Dreamstime. Some of my work here can be purchased through them.

Sentrawoods. says:
"Having come across a wonderful photostream many months ago when I first joined flickr, I was amazed at the creativity and thought that was put into the photography. Looking closer, the nature and wildlife pictures really stood out from the rest. Through time the person behind the camera became a real inspiration and role model in how I looked at the world of nature through a lens. Forestlady is not just a great photographer, she is a warm and friendly person who has helped me in many ways, and to whom I owe many thanks for her views, opinions and wisdom. Thank you my friend."

"I am probably V's most loyal fan and admirer. She is one of the most gentle, levelheaded and loving souls I've ever had the pleasure to cross paths with in my life. Her talent as a photographer is what inspired me to pursue this art and push myself to try and make beautiful photographs like hers.
I'm proud and grateful to have her as my friend and mentor for over -- well, let's just say "decades" and leave it there :-)
