When I look into the viewfinder of my camera I feel art & poetry.

About Me

I have a son & a daughter that I am very proud of. They have grown into beautiful young adults that are hard working & pursuing dreams of their own. I am hearing impaired & use sign language. My vision, not by sight, but by feelings and thoughts greater than my hearing is where my love of arts come in. When I was a little girl I knew that I wanted to be an artist. My dad (who was totally deaf) took up the hobby of photography. He let me use his Pentax Spotmatic SPII 35mm camera and it just seemed to be a natural thing for me. I took graphic arts in school learning the dark room, burning the plates and running the print press. Now, I use my Nikon D70 SLR. In my spare time, I shoot digital photos of wildlife, nature, landscape, animals, people, musicians, odds & ends. I write poetry with some of my photos (you can read them in my blog). Some photos are entered into the South Carolina Wildlife Magazine annual contest. I like to take my photos and turn them into creative art. Just go with the flow.

I love spending time with my dog.

Your Life Path Number is 4
Your purpose in life is to build your vision.

You are practical and responsible. You work hard, knowing that there are no shortcuts in life.
You work for a better life for yourself and those you love, but you are not an idealist.
Trustworthy and honest, you also demonstrate great courage. People can count on you.

In love, you are a loyal and committed partner. You are the ideal spouse.

You don't give up easily, and sometimes you can be too stubborn and unwilling to change.
You also can be too conservative at times. You sometime miss out on good opportunities.
Also remember that not everyone can work as hard as you, as disappointing as that is! What Is Your Life Path Number?

A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.~Ansel Adams
I had the pleasure of photographing each stage of the Magnolia from the bud to the stigma.

I'd like to meet:

If instead a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give.~George MacDonald

Check out my sister's music.

Music:

Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.~Lao Tzu

I have a widddeee variety of music that I like and too many bands to list. I often read the lyrics because I am hearing impaired but I can feel the music and vibrations as it moves my soul. I love instrumental music. Sometimes I like to go out and see the local musicians play.

Television:

is for keeping up with the weather so I know when to shoot photographs outdoors.

Books:

Poetry is language at its most distilled and most powerful.~Rita Dove
Dreams are illustrations...from the book your soul is writing about you.~Marsha Norman

Heroes:

my dad who died of cancer, my mom for standing by me through thick and thin, our troops, rescue workers and those who helps the unhelped.
