Loving your art

I don't consider myself to be a consistently great photographer, mostly because I haven't been formally educated in it and I don't meticulously record aperture settings and shutter speeds so I can hone what I do properly. What I have produced I am very proud of because it is my form of artistic expression; statements mixed with observations conveyed without speaking.

I have never had the money on my own to travel to exotic locations. I was fortunate to be in a relationship with someone who enjoyed travelling and was able to fund our vacations to Nassau, to Vegas, Cancun (with a side journey to Chichen Itza and a day trip to Isla Mujeres) , Sedona and the Grand Canyon. As you can imagine, I took rolls upon rolls of film to record every trip and capture the beauty and culture. When that relationship culminated in a very bitter end and I moved out, I discovered to my horror, that he had been through my moving boxes and extracted every picture I took during our time together.

If you ever want to mortally wound a photographer, steal all their photos.

I will likely never have the money to go back to each place and rebuild my memories in photos even though I really want to. If you are a visitor to my page and have pictures you would like to send me of any of these locations, I would really appreciate your kindness.
