Thanks for accepting me into your group. My interest in photography was inspired by my Uncle, a retired Air Force officer. He was a self-taught photographer and was called upon to shoot events, etc for the Air Force. On my first trip to Europe, he happened to view some of my images and told me that I had a creative “eye”…and, because he was my ‘hero’, the gift started to unfold at that point. Later, I found that the process of interacting with the subject became fuel for my soul…I was captured and here I am.
