It's taken me a while to have the courage to display any of my work publicly. My passion for any form of art, especially photography has grown over the years.
I admire greatly what others can do with a camera, and will do my best to show my appreciation of others work on here.
I'm completely self taught, but I'm a perfectionist so I work hard at my hobby, and I'm learning something new everyday! Please feel free to leave a comment and I welcome any constructive critisism to help me learn :)
Please bear with me if I go quiet for a while, as I spend the rest of my precious free time tracing my family history, and sometimes it takes over everything else I do!
