Let This Be A Warning Toddler T-Shirt

Bruno is a famous bear, a movie bear. However, he is not to be trifled with. Had I been as close to him as my lens suggests, I would not be here to type this description. He is a presence, this grizzly bear, this amazing and magnificent grizzly bear. I could not take my eyes off of him, the muscular structure beneath his thick coat, the way he moves, his long claws and the manner in which he is able to manipulate them. His eyes can express a fierceness unlike any other or a cuddly welcoming. Look, do not touch!

In high school I took a photography class with an art teacher who became my friend and mentor. This was back when I was in the dark room creating black and whites (probably running late to my other classes). I had already documented my family and our animals on the farm by this time--images that today remain in my heart and collections. The camera goes with me everywhere. I specialize in landscape, wildlife, equine, and floral photography. My eye goes where it is called. From the smallest detail to the widest landscape. It is the one activity I can still do with a back injury and at my own pace that brings me joy and allows me to share my point of view with others. I hope my images speak to your heart!
