Annie Thornton-Wyman
A native of Florida, I moved to North Carolina to live with my daughter in April 2006. I am retired, however I still do photo shoots & sell prints . I enjoy my photo-art which is taking digital photos & enhancing them in photoshop. I love nature & close-up, digital infrared.

I was hooked on photography at age 12, when my sister, Betty, gave me my 1st camera, a turquoise plastic Argus box camera. My 1st SLR was a Canon TLQL which dates in the 60's.

In 1997 I began studies at Polk Community College, Winter Haven,FL. During those 3+ yrs, I took Photography I, 11, & 111; Journalism, Publications 1&2. In Photography III, I put together my first "Portrait Portfolio". I then had Digital Imaging. My friend & mentor, David Woods, the photography professor at PCC was instrumental in always keeping me photo-savy, trying different things & wanting to learn new things.

I have had my first DSLR, my Canon Rebel 300D converted over to infrared. I am truly enjoying that. Originally I did infrared the old fashioned way, shot Kodak HIE b&w infrared, processed the negatives & prints in the ddarkroom, so having a digital IR camera is wonderful! I love it!!!

I'm disabilities, I have found when I am feeling up to it, getting out to take photos. Then editing the photos in photoshop. Photography is the best therapy I have.

I love nature, the Gulf Coast beachs or Outer Banks, historic cemeteries & Civil War reenactments.

My cameras:
Canon Rebel D300 6.3mp. I have had it converted over to infrared digital by Jim Chen, jimchenphotography.com.
My last DSLR purchase has been my favorite to date, the Rebel XTi (D400) at 10.1 mp & again two new lenses, the Tamron 18-200 DXi (28-300 in 35mm) and the Sigma 105DXI 1:1 ratio macro lense.


Christmas 2010 I bought my latest all-in-one-zoom, the new super zoom by Olympia SP-800UZ. It's amazing!


I also carry a smaller standby camera, a Canon Powershot A590 IS with image stabilization, in my purse in case I see something of interest while I'm out and about.

I also have a collection of older cameras including a Realist Stereographic, a Minox Salesman camera with the Kit, a Retina & several others. I got the camera collecting bug when I worked for an old camera shop years ago


I joined flickr in Sept '07.
