I initially joined Flickr to keep up with the beautiful images my talented family members were posting. When I would go along when they were shooting I realized I was becoming a "backseat photographer", ("Oh look, take a picture of that!"). It occurred to me that maybe I should get my own camera and try it myself.
I was an illustrator for 30 years and up until now I only took photos as reference for paintings. I didn't really have to worry about composition or light. Now I am having so much fun learning this new way to make images.
I am constantly amazed and inspired by the work I see on this site. I am so grateful for the generosity and encouragement of the people I have encountered here. What a wonderful opportunity to learn and just enjoy great photographs!

    "Annie's photos are filled with history, intrigue, and careful planning. Her stream is filled with color, landscapes, and architecture that most people would walk by without truly seeing. She has a great eye for what makes a great picture!"
