I'm a retired attorney who fell into photography in 2010 when my wife insisted we go to Africa, and my trusty point-and-shoot just wouldn't cut it. I bought a DSLR, read the manual on the 20-hour flight, and instantly became the “expert” among travelers who hadn't cracked theirs open. I'm open to photographing anything, switching subjects whenever I feel stuck. My wife Louann, also a retired attorney, started by snapping photos of her beloved garden with my old camera and soon became both muse and critic. We push each other to see the world differently, and sharing this passion together has made the journey all the more rewarding.
Join us for a lively discussion about her work.

Many of us who have been in photography a long time have printed our images. We did this either via the darkroom or within the last 10 years by our computer. I decided to give up on printing and begin to focus on other ways to present my work. It's been an evolution, and sometimes a revolution but I am now moving on.
