I'm in love with digital photography, having made the switch at the beginning of 2006. No going back to film! For me, it's a serious hobby, a way to combine technical, artistic and expressive elements. Sometimes it's the process, sometimes it's the product.

    "Barbara, it's such an amazing photographer and one of my favourite loyal friends. Her immediate response to any of my work on Flickr is most encouraging. She is extremely generous and positive in her comments and encouragement.
    Barbara has been one of my contacts for a long time now and I cannot but fully admire her work, rescued dogs."

    "Barbara is one of my very good friends whom I met here on Flickr. She and I met during a local Flickr Meetup at Filoli Garden & Estate and hit it off right away. The day we met, I remember her telling me that she liked me because I encouraged her to take pictures of people and things that she normally wouldn't take and that we were going to get along great!

    She is encouraging and inspirational. I learn something new everytime I look at her photostream because it makes me ask, "now why didn't I think of that?" and "how did she do that?" She is very creative with that camera. And boy does she have a steady hand with those huge L-series lenses! Oh!

    She also lets me borrow her lenses at the very low price of $0! Not sure if that is a good thing because afterwards I end up buying a new lens. She is a great teacher too! She always has suggestions, tips and tricks on photography and that is always appreciated because I feel that my photography skills have improved tremendously by taking her advice.

    Aside from being a talented photographer, she is also a great friend. I enjoy her company whether it is chatting online late at night or a photoshoot somewhere along the windy roads of the Bay Area. ;) She is a strong lady with a huge heart who gives and gives but doesn't expect anything in return. She is strong-willed and fun to be with and I will miss her soooooooo much when I move to Washington. You're the best!"
