I am an amateur photographer trying to learn how to make my work better. I welcome any constructive feedback. I had taken a photography class back in '98, however my passion for it had faded over the last few years. Then my friend, Sandy, told me I had to join Flickr. I decided to join it to just post my photographs that I still loved. Ha. Little did I know what Flickr really was...and what was going to happen. Flickr not only has renewed my passion for photography, it has turned it into an obession.
My Camera Gear:
- Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT 350D (including 18-55mm AF lens)
- three set diopters (aka close up lenses)
- Tamron AF 200-400mm F/5.6 LD
- Tamron AF 80-210mm F/4.5-5.6
My older digital photos were taken with Canon EOS 30D (including 35-80mm AF lens).
Any film processed and scanned photos were taken with my Canon Rebel G (including 35-80mm AF lens).

World Muse says:
"Mahonia has an eye for lovely and inspiring photographs. Her photos continue to leave me breathless and allow me to view the world with a new eye. Mahonia has a wonderful way of seeing the world that isn't seen in many photographers today, and I look forward to watching her photography grow and change with her. In a nutshell, she is a wonderful photographer."

"I have only recently met Mahonia, but have viewed her pictures for some time now. An obvious lot of thought and care has gone into her photos, because they are all very good. Hopefully over the coming weeks Mahonia and I will become better acquainted. But in the meantime myself and many others will have a great deal of pleasure in viewing her photos. Well done Mahonia."
