A longtime hobby of mine is taking pictures; first, this was borne out of necessity, and then continued for love of the craft. Photography informs other areas of my creative life, such as jewelry making and writing.
My favorite things to photograph are the flowers in my yard, places we travel, and trees as they change through the seasons. I’ve written many travel articles that include photography from the last twenty years. These include:
