Q: How did you hear about Lensbaby, and what encouraged you to purchase a LB lens?

A: I had a friend who had a Lensbaby.

 

Q:What was your journey to becoming a photographer like?

A: My father was a movie maker and made family movies. I grew up with a camera in my hands. I grew up at a time that for me ...as a woman, photography was not there to make a living. In collage I had a Pentax....and film was expensive. When the time came that I went digital my creativity truly come to be. My camera has taken me places I would never have seen. Photography is a journey of learning...experiencing creating...a never ending road.

Q: What do you love the most about photography?

Q: What helps you when you're struggling with a creative block?

A: I think that we struggle with all the noise....we need to take a breath and slow down.

I am not new to photography but i am new to Lensbaby. I enjoy taking images of flowers. I bought my Velvet 56 about 2 years ago. At first I had a lot of frustration trying to use it. It stayed in the box for the majority of six months, till one day ....I understood....I had conquered the beast. Since that time it has become a joy to work with. I enjoy taking images particularly of spring flowers...I can get up close and personal. It's as if i can capture the essence of the flowers. Last year i had two of my images accepted in an exhibit called "The Art of Healing" which i was proud to be part of.
