I was in Caumsett Sate Park and sighted a raptor on a nest resting on a tree trunk hanging about 100 feet above my head. Imagine my frustration when the best photo I could get with my point and shoot was.....

So, off to B&H Photo I went and purchased my first DSLR!

I've spent the last year reading the camera's instruction manual and other helpful books, learning the language of photography, and studying the photos of photography's icons with the result that I can now see the world through a photographer's eye.

And although I'm still learning, one problem remained - finding myself in this craft, finding a way to be different. I love vibant colors and distortion, the 17-35mm wide-angle telephoto lens is my favorite. I love going out on the street and photographing every thing I see, but as far as I could ascertain the first photo of Manhattan was taken in 1848, that's 162 year of some of the best phototogs taking pictures of my hometown, now how do I compete with them?

Well, it took a while, but I've finally found my photographic signature.....

I do hope that you enjoy what you see!

"I must say what a wonderful flickr friend Lo is, without a doubt she epitomizes what flickr is and should be to each member.

Lo is a fantastic photographer capturing images with so much appeal, often bold, and always full of visual impact...I like that, and I know you will to.

Do take the time to review Lo's work, you will come away with a smile on your face, trust me!!!

Thank you my friend..:-)"

"Lorraine is one of my first contacts on Flickr. She has always been a very special friend and supported me a lot. Moreover she has got a very special sence of humour, which I like a lot. Her comments always make me smile.

I am a devotee of her photo's, especialy her street photography and her flowers and last but not least Peanut.

It is so good to know her."
