I have been interested in photography for the looooongest time (in fact my first camera had a disposable flash cube on it!), but have never been brave enough to share any of my work outside of family and friends.
But thanks to my best friend and “red bubbler” – Katewah – and her continual encouragement about my work, I am finally putting it out there. Thanks Kate :)
And a HUGE thank you to all of you who take the time to look at and comment on my work. It is humbling and inspiring :)
