WELCOME! BIENVENUE!
| A NOTE about COMMENTS, VOTES and the GUESTBOOK: I offer these photos to share my joy in beauty with you, hoping they bring you pleasure. Your comments at the bottom of my gallery or individual photo pages mean I have connected with you, and I appreciate hearing any thoughts my images bring to your mind. Critiques from fellow photographers help me. Voting for an image or gallery means you want to share it with others who visit PBase. The GUESTBOOK, however, works ONLY for PBase members to comment :-( But I encourage non-members to comment on the gallery or individual photo pages, as I value your feedback. Thank you for visiting. |
| I didn't start out to be a photographer. I took a six month solo car trip through Europe in 2000 after being told I probably had two to three years to live. I called it my Joy In Beauty Tour, on the premise that awe and wonder would be healthy states of emotion to fend off a recurrence of my cancer. You can visit the Travelogue I wrote about and during that journey here. |
| I took pictures with a little Canon Elf APS 'to paint from' when I got back, as I thought I wanted to do oil painting. When I returned, everyone liked my photos, so I just kept doing it, and eventually learned that the garden was my 'canvas' anyway. In 2006 I was able to return to France and Italy for a second trip, this time for three months, from which I returned with a longing to move to Paris. The site documenting this trip can be seen here. |
