Favorite Motto: If you see it .....shoot it!
Favorite Web Address: Dgrin.com

Everyone needs to have a passion in their lives and I have found mine in photography! I love everything about it...processing, shooting different styles and learning from my Flickr contacts.

Thank god for computers....so much information is available at my finger tips. I have been lucky to find wonderful books ie. Bryan Peterson's series as well as Scott Kelby's series. Great forums like dgrin.com
I am loving every minute!!

I'm busy setting up Scott Kelby's World Wide Photo Walk 2010 in my town - Bakersfield, CA. Last year 900 walks happened world wide with 32,000 photographers participating. If you would like more information on how to join in on the fun visit: worldwidephotowalk.com/

You can look for a walk near you, or a walk somewhere you would like to go or maybe just start your own. Think of it....... for two hours of one day, all over the world....people are taking photographs. Isn't that cool??? Oh, and did I mention that there are prizes involved too?
Does it get in better for us crazy, photo snapping addicts?

There will be a Flickr group created for each city that is involved so all the great pictures can be seen by the world!!

Thanks everyone!!

    "This is so long overdue!

    Barb has been kind enough to present me with some very complimentary words over the past few years (gawd, has it been two years already?)...she's so very honest and generous if you had not already figured that out... Barb's images are shining examples of creativity and reflections of life that are done in a way that serves as a great example in composition and taste... In Flickr-terms, faves-all, and for those who look close enough there's always an example that drives the photographer in each of us to do better. Thanx Barb, from the heart!"

    "I want to write a testimonial about Barb, the person, and then, her photography skills.

    She has endured much in her life. Still is battling one thing or another. Yet, she doesn't complain. She brightens my stream with her flow of goodness, her words of encouragment, her love. I feel her passion for life with each breath she takes...and shares. I am learning from her even if she doesn't realize it just yet. What she has gone through, what she currently goes through in her journey, has only strengthened her. I don't think this woman can be broke, just strengthened.

    Her photography has rich artistic feelings to it. She knows her subjects well and her play with light enhances what and who she sees. I like her choice of processing for each individual image.

    I am happy, I am grateful, to know Barb. And when she graces my stream, I am thankful to see that ray of sunshine she leaves behind."

    "Barbara's photostream is a perfect example of what makes Flickr one of the most addictive sites on the World Wide Web: a wonderful combination of beautiful subject matter, interesting insights and fantastic creativity all held together by unquestionable photographic skill. If you like looking at great images, then this is the place to begin..."
