I'd love some testimonials. My father always told me people don't know what they can do for you unless you ask, so I'm asking, please.

A former ballet dancer, taken off my toes by a strange neurological disease ) - took to painting, writing and photography - not someone to sit still. I recently became a grandmother for the second time - new perspectives to explore, with camera or sketchpad.

Writing and illustrating with drawings, old photographs, and a collection of childhood memories titled "Sparrow Girl" images are stored here and the stories appear at www.aletta.org/sparrowweb1.shtml

I also have a few pages of small films for viewing at: www.aletta.org/myvideopage1.shtml

Happily I have a decent digital camera which I am happt and content, (until I can go nuts and buy something spectacular). Fortunately a good camera is not the only, or most important component of a good shot. A few years ago I saved enough to buy a little digital camera, Logitech Clicksmart 510, easier to afford than processing or regular film and prints, though I miss using my SLR and Twin Relex cameras. They do look good on the display case.... For the moments I am very happy with the results I do have and appreciate being able to share my world with everyone.

Otherwise I play with scans of older fotos, recolored, played with, and scanned/photographed images of my artwork. To someone housebound the web has set me free, and even allows me to converse with other artists, conversations I really miss most awfully.

I also maintain several blogs:
A Fine Mes
