"To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it." - Kurt Vonnegut
I love all aspects of photography and design. Photography has been such an amazing journey for me. It defines who I am and allows me to express myself in ways I never dreamed possible. It has given life to a dead part inside of me by allowing me to create beauty and drama. It has shown me that I can do whatever I set my mind to do and, with effort and patience, my dreams are within reach.
My idea of a perfect day? Open road, great music and my camera! Of course a few clouds are nice.

"Debi is a wonderful friend with a fabulous personality that I am glad I have made aquaintace with in the world of Flickr!
In the early days - Debi helped me so much with her kindness & encouragment!
I love Debi's pictures - especially the "western frontier" style pictures with stunning scenery and marvelous cactii. They are so much like the films I used to watch when I was young!
Debi's pictures are always well captured and presented perfectly!
Keep up the fantastic work Debi - Best wishes!

"Debis work is amazing. Her apparent love for nature is what drew me in. But then her pictures took me back in time, brought back some great memories.... and taught me a little history too :) Her photos depict life in America.... Past and present. Shes an inspiration and I look forward to seeing more from her in the future."
