I take photos of everything-nature, architecture, pets and whimsy being of special interest. An enjoyable task I have set for myself is to document the historic, charming and funky icons of the Triangle area. Rapid change has affected once common and treasured sights. Photography is one way to turn the clock back and kindle fond memories. What I enjoy the most about taking pictures is the adventure behind getting the photo and the viewer's reaction-seeing eyes light up or a smile. There's so much beauty and so many interesting things in the world waiting to be noticed if we just take a moment to look.
