"If I didn't have my camera to remind me constantly, I am here to do this, I would eventually have slipped away, I think. I would have forgotten my reason to exist. And I still need the camera because it is the only reason anyone is talking to me."
-- Annie Leibovitz
"I write [I think 'photograph' works perfectly here too] entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear."
-- Joan Didion

photogenesis ... says:
"Sharon is creating many beautiful images. Her macro work in particular shows great skill and reflects her empathy with nature.
Sharon is also a great Flickr contact and friend, frequently stopping by and showing interest and leaving kind comments/invites. Sharon also demonstrates an uncanny understanding about what lies behind some of my images, which is both pleasing and nervewracking at the same time. Keep the great work coming Sharon, and thanks for your time, attention and friendship."11th September, 2007

luckygirllefty says:
"They say if you look close enough, you can see an entire little world in a flower, and Sharon has got to be one of the best tour guides to that world. "Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made, and forgot to put a soul into"...she gives them that soul and graciously shares it with everyone.
"The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence. When mindfulness embraces others, they will bloom like flowers." Sharon's presence and words are always a gift, such real kindness!
If friends were flowers, I'd pick you!! You're a wonder-full talent and gal!"22nd August, 2007
