I had planned for my first posting to be dramatic, but truth is I am not a dramatic person. I suppose a brief introduction will suffice. But where to start?
Based on schooling, I am a scientist. I have both an undergraduate and a graduate degree in the biological sciences. My current occupation is a full-time instructor of said sciences. Most of my work week is spent keeping myself one step ahead of my students.
My home life contains no more drama than my work life. I share a small-ish condo with my mother in a small city on the western side of North Carolina. We also have two domestic short-haired cats who are as different as they get. One is lazy, one is frenzied; one thin, one fat; one black, one mostly white. And of course one male and one female.
On weekends, mom and I will seek out nature. Our preferred place is the local state park but we also visit the local Greenway as well. It is quite fascinating and astonishing what kinds of things you can find in the most unexpected places. Our current interest is wildflowers and we try to find new varieties, but the ones we have identified continue to delight us when they spring up in new locations. My other interests are craft related; I am a knitter, sewer, costumer, jewelry maker, and occasional sketch artist. I keep the results of those endeavors at various other websites such as deviantArt, Ravelry, or Cosplay.com.
This blog, however, is a place for me to house my photographs. I am currently enrolled as a student with the New York Institute of Photography in their distance education Professional Photography course. My main objective is to improve my photography skills but I am hoping to make photography a freelance profession. I'm hoping to share these photos with everyone else via this blog.
Feel free to leave comments and constructive criticism. Any advice to improve my photography skills or corrections to information are most appreciated. As I tell my students, intolerance, bigotry, or just plain rudeness will not be acceptable.
