                                                                                                                                  I have a distinct memory of running through my Aunt Nora's Victorian house in Camp Hill, snapping "pictures" with a toy camera,
                                                                                                                                  wishing I could have a real one that could take endless images, pictures of everything that caught my eye... which was a lot of stuff.
                                                                                                                                  I studied photography in 4-H, with a Kodak Instamatic. I studied it in art school, with a mighty fine Kodak SLR,
                                                                                                                                  and the awesome Pentax K-1000 (SLR).
                                                                                                                                  And the world changed.
                                                                                                                                  Now I have the Magic Camera: it's called digital. And Photoshop. And a video editing program. The Camera Dragon is unleashed!

Here are a few of my journeys. I can record yours as well (email me if you want copies of these or photos of your own journeys). Click on the pics to go to the albums. If you're on Facebook, I have a number of albums there, (you may not be able to get to the facebook albums from here if you don't have an account) as well as on naturebreak.org.
