About me

Always looking for that shot – (This time right before a tropical storm)

I’m just me. I’m a mom, a grand mom, sister, daughter, friend and an aunt. I work at a job I love which can be quite stressful at times. Scuba Diving and photography are my outlets to help reduce the stresses of my everyday life.

I shoot topside photos with an Nikon 610. For my underwater shots I usually shoot with a Sea & Sea G2,or Ricoh Gx200 with Sea & Sea housing, and two YS-01 Stobes. When I’m adventurous I’ll use my Cannon SX1 IS Power Shot, with Ikelite housing, Ikelite pro-V8 video lite, and Ikelite 51 substrobe. The Cannon’s housing is a bit cumbersome for me so I only use it on the rare occasions that I might want Video. That’s not often these days.

“You don’t make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.”

― Ansel Adams

Some may feel that Mr. Adams is “outdated”. I don’t. Forever he will be my inspiration.
