If a day goes by without my doing something related to photography, it's as though I've neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up. - Richard Avedon

Photography is a therapy, a drug, an obsession, an addiction, a means to an end, an outlet, a connection to a person's soul.

I love being in front of the camera as much as I love being behind it. photography is not just about the photographer, the equipment, or the model - its about all that and more.

This is my personal flickr. It's more personal to me than my blog; it's even more personal to me than my facebook. I've gotten much more selective on what I share, but it is essentially me. This is where I can come and express my innermost thoughts - a safe haven where I can just be me. Enjoy what you see and what you read, but respect my words.

Thank you

    "I follow a lot of people on Flickr..... alot of great photographers, and seemingly wonderful people - Anna is both. But, in my three years on this crazy site, I have never seen anybody grow as a photographer as quickly as I've seen Anna grow. Not only has she become a friend, but she is crazy-sexy-cool (emphasis on the last two)..... and I absolutely adore her work."

    "Zee Anna is *amazing.* I've only just recently met her, but I know she's going to be a great Flickr friend. She has a warm and generous spirit and modeled for us all day long on Saturday. She has a great eye as a photographer, and knows what looks great both behind and in front of the camera. If you want fun, go shoot with Zee! :)"

    "There are a few things you need to know about Anna.

    1) Anna is extremely helpful. She will do anything she can to help you up your game in photography. A great example, she helped me find a great, cheap background for photography and has given me lots of tips on portraiture.

    2) Anna has a great eye. When I see her photos, especially her self-portraits, I am often left thinking, "Darn, why didn't I think of that?"

    3) But the most important thing about Anna is that she is not afraid to learn/experiment. She seems to constantly pushing herself to try out new techniques and then share what she's learned with the rest of us on flickr."

    "I only got to know Anna fairly recently, but I absolutely adore her! Her artistic abilities shine through in everything she does, whether it's creating dramatic face art or powerful and sensual black and whites. She infuses her personality into all of her work and she's an absolute joy to know. If you aren't familiar with her yet, you can thank me for the introduction later. You're going to love her."

    "Anna? She's absolutely amazing as a photographer and contact. Anna will light up your days with good humor or creative pictures. Following her since the beginning of her 365, I've seen her change drastically for the better.At the time of this testimonial, Anna has yet to hit the triple digits. She's a super cool gal and be sure to check out her high-key portraits. They are stunning, just like her."

    "I discovered Anna's stream when I started July's ABC Soup. I quickly fell in love with her style and added her as a contact. Her stream is one of the first ones I check everyday. Her high keys photo are fantastic and she has such a quirky sense of humor. She manages to make me laugh whether she's climbing into a high voltage area or just cuddling her stuffed giraffe. She's become one of my favorite Flickr friends and I can't wait for our Florida meet-up! :)"

    "Everywhere I go on flickr I see Zee Anna!!!!!!! This girl seriously must be the most popular girl on flickr.... with good, no great reason! Zee Anna! is always there to comment on her contact's photos... to praise them, or pick them up when they are down. She cares, she listens.... (well, ok she reads...) but you get the idea!! I am glad to call her a friend.
    Zee Anna!'s photos are always very creative. You can tell she puts time into them... she thinks about what she is trying to convey, and then finds the perfect way to relate it photographically. Her photos are intelligent, yet fun. She is always doing something new, and always takes the time to get the technique RIGHT.

    But what I love most is that she's not afraid to lay it all out there. Her flickr life is her real life, and that is awesome. Her photos are TRUTH."

    "Since I "met" Zee Anna over at July's ABCs (at least, I'm pretty sure that's where) she's been one of my favouritest flickr people, and not just because she always says very nice things about my photos :)
    Anna is the high-key lighting guru, and also makes some hilariously funny shots. Sometimes she does both at the same time.
    She has a good eye for photos, as evidenced by her copying a couple of my shots... and the shot I copied from her made explore. :D

    PS. you could say the occasional critical thing about my photos if you want Anna, I'll still like you :)"

    "Oh Anna, how do I love thee?
    Let me count the ways.
    1. For being hilarious and making me laugh, and having a wonderful sense of humour.
    2. For taking super sick pictures. Always. Really. Her stream is phe-nom-enal.
    3. For all the comments you leave me. :)
    4. For just plain being fantastical!

    There are so many more but we'll keep it down to four."

    "Anna, you have taught me so much about my camera already!! And we have only brushed upon the tip of using Sony dslr's. I am so happy I met you on flickr!
    Since a few days ago, we have commented dozens of each others amazing photo's and have given each other compliments, favs, and advice. (even though Ive been getting all of the advicece).
    its been so much fun talking, and learning with you. I cant wait to see our progress with our 365's. I know by the time we are done we will have at least one picture explored!
    By far your my best flickr friend."

    "I don't even remember when I met Anna, because I feel like I've known her forever! She's like my little sister and an amazing friend all in one. I sold her my first DSLR (which is currently her first DSLR) and I'm so glad it was her. She learned soo quickly and now she's putting out beautiful photos. I always enjoy looking at her work and she's great to go out shooting with."
