Some people look at a canvas and can create an amazing image on it... Some people look at clay or stone or some other moldable material, and can create stunning figures... So many people in this world can create something from nothing. Beautifully. Me? That's not how my artistic self flows. I don't ever feel like I can
create something from nothing. Kids, maybe. But not art. Give me a cartoon, and I can
recreate it. Give me a pattern - cross stitch, crochet, drawing - and I can make it. But don't ask me to actually
make the cartoon or the pattern. I go completely blank.

But send me outside, or in a group setting, or anywhere, and I can just see things framed in a photograph. A pretty good photograph. Or at least, I like to think so. I'm getting closer to the point where I'm ready to take a gigantic ego risk - I feel like my shots come from a piece of my heart sometimes - and call myself, in word and deed, a professional photographer. Maybe. So, here are some of what I consider my highlights - you may be able to figure out my favorite subjects... :)
