Soon afterwards she started shooting with DSLR cameras. In her college years, she went on to developing her own rolls of film and producing prints in the dark room. During her studies, she took black & white film art photography classes, expanding her knowledge of camera techniques and creativity. Recently she has been sticking to shooting with her mirrorless camera. She enjoys teaching classes to those who aspire to broaden their photography skills and network with other photographers.

    Caught this one just before the world really woke up at Jacksonville Beach. The kind of morning where everything lines up. The clouds start catching light early, the tide leaves just enough water to turn the sand into a mirror, and the horizon stays clean.That stretch out to the right is the Jacksonville Beach Pier, pulling your eye straight into the sunrise. No filters. Just one of those moments you can?t plan, you just have to be there for it.

    SpaceX Launch 12/2/21. Falcon 9 rocket. Nikon D850, 24-70 2.8. Camera looking south east. The final image is a composite of 75 images taken on the same night and same location. The rocket launch exposure is roughly 5.5 minutes long and shows up as the arc across the sky. Once the launch was finished, I changed the camera settings for the stars while being careful to not bump the tripod. Changing settings is a challenge in complete darkness and you only have one chance to get it right.Those image

    Title or Location: This Still Life Photograph of "Grapes, Strawberry's and Wine" was taken in my bedroom in Orange County California.
    This image is a Still Life Composition of "Berries, Wine and Grapes" that I created on a rainy day in my bedroom. I used no fancy Studio Lighting at all. My only light source was a hand-held flashlight that I kept moving rapidly. It was an experiment in Light Painting when I couldn't go outside to shoot.
