It makes me proud to say the least when you realize that an organization such as APA National ( American Photographic Artists) is giving you an opportunity to tell your story. I have had a few careers in my life but being a photographer has given me the most joy, excitement and challenges.

I wrote this for other photographers that are out there, maybe struggling and trying to find their voice or for the ones that are just starting out. It is never too late to follow your dream. I started kind of late. I was 38 years old when I took on a whole new career from scratch. I had an accomplished career as a Make up artist when still living in Europe but I had a dream and I made it happen.

Please read my interview and let me know if I can answer questions or give you guidance.

Enjoy!

This print below was one of my first conceptual photographs that I took of my German friend Petra when up on the mountains in Palm Springs.

This image was part of an exhibit at the Katonah Museum of Fine art, curated by Rick Wester.
