“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.”
~Albert Einstein

Hi, I’m really very awful at writing stuff in these “About You” boxes, so I’m sorry for the terribleness to follow.
I’m a rather new photographer. I have absolutely no training, and honestly, I have little clue as to what I’m doing. I use a battered old Canon A720IS Powershot, mostly because I am lacking in the funds for a better camera. But, fear not, I am planning on saving.
I’m a young mum and my favourite subjects are flowers, abandoned buildings, and of course, my son Lucas. I appreciate all criticisms, critiques, and compliments! Also, I write a lot. Feel free to peruse my works… And comments are always nice!
As of late, I have rediscovered drawing. I’ve posted some of my recent works, and aim to post my old ones as well. You should check them out!
I’ve been using art as a form of self-healing for a long time now. Many of my photos are taken in places where I go meditate on the things in my life which I find challenging. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
Well then. That seems to be it.
Thanks for stopping by!
