It has taken me a while to consider myself a photographer. In my lifetime I have been daughter, sister, wife, mother, empty nester, grandmother, great grandmother, widow and partner. Never in those years was I a photographer. Frankly except for family memories (which I cherish) , I didn't have time. Some might and have said that I am stubborn. I prefer determined. I have also been described as quirky, but only by those who say they love me. I have always seen stories in the world around me but without a camera I didn't have a way or the knowledge to tell these stories. Now that I have a camera that was gifted to me, the journey and story telling has found it's path.
