Although I was exposed to photography many years ago I never actually took photographs until the spring of 2007 (My Peru folder). I find all aspects of photography to be very meditative. I love my Panasonic TZ3 and Nikon Coolpix E5100, both are point-and-shoot cameras, but I have finally graduated to their manual settings. And I really enjoy my PhotoImpact photo editor although I still have a lot to learn on it. My favorite time is late afternoon for its rich color and dramatic lighting. If I could wake myself up early enough I know I would enjoy the beauty of the morning light too.

Vancouver, in the province of British Columbia on the west coast of Canada, is a beautiful city. We have so many photo opportunities within our city and our entire province and country, and they are multiplied by the four seasons and various weather conditions.

For years I had a desk job and then I discovered I preferred coming home sweaty from moving heavy stuff around in a warehouse. I like getting paid to exercise! Although exhausted I still find time for my cameras and my wandering nature. I love to travel and have only recently started doing so... there is so much of the world to see!!!

I am also a trained aromatherapist, respecting the impact of plant chemicals on the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of the human body. I use 'essential oils' made from various parts of plants and trees. These have 'scary-named' chemicals in them, such as terpines, aldehydes, acids, esters, ketones, oxides, lactones, coumarins. It's pretty important to know how to use them. They surely do affect the body. Aromatherapy is definitely not the use of perfume oil in scented candles.
