Pivotal Photographic Moments
This article discusses three pivotal photographic moments in my career. Many of us have had these types of experiences in various areas of our lives.

It is simply to share the growth and learning that has occurred for me as a result of my pivotal photographic moments.

Photographing Fur Babies
During a recent visit to our daughter’s home I spent a few minutes photographing fur babies. My daughter and her husband have three dogs…. Wayne, Wawa and Casper. It is sometimes a bit of a challenge to catch them remaining still for any length of time… so I made the best of the situation!
