Back in 1970-something, when I was just about 5 years old, I picked up my dad's camera and took my first "real" photo (meaning it was properly framed and there was no typical kid-like motion to it). From that moment on, I was hooked. A few years later, I had my first SLR, a really nice Nikon. I shot with that camera, along with a couple different 110 and 35mm automatics for many years. Photography courses during summer school kept me busy and fully intrigued with the possibilities of art by camera. By the time I reached high school, I was rarely seen without a camera in hand. I was on the yearbook staff, of course. Hours and hours were spent in the dark room.
While it's taken a while for some to accept my need to carry a camera everywhere, most of my friends and family understand why I do it. You just never know what you'll find or who you'll meet.
Fortunately, my camera has made it possible for me to meet intriguing people, go interesting places, and see things I might have otherwised missed along the way.
I have several websites, including: Laughing Rhino.
I am constantly amazed and inspired by the photographs I see on Flickr. Not a day goes by that I don't find something that absolutely floors me.
Special thanks to Tara for my Pro account!

Bengt Nyman says:
"Joanie shoots like she lives; with emotion, fire and gusto. She projects it, she inspires it and she captures it. Looking at her work, it is hard to believe that she does it without a "real" camera.
Go Joanie Go.

DaraghOwens says:
"Joanie-DG has a great eye. Her photography covers all genres from classic portraits, live music to animals and flowers. All are wonderfully shot and presented without post-processing. Her sets of live blues performers are amazing where she catches the character of the musicians and the atmosphere of the performance with great style. Joanie does not get enough recognition on flickr for her great photography, which is a shame. And add to that she is a pleasure to talk to and chat with."
