Inspirations

I remember and understand my family and much of my life through the photographs that document people and events in time. Several years ago, my mother began to scan pictures and negatives that my grandparents had kept in boxes. She spent hours with these pictures - many of which bore the bumps and bruises of time. Getting these pictures out of boxes has been an incredible gift. My grandparents captured a piece of Americana through their pictures, through their family. I was blown away by the artistic quality of these pictures taken on old and often very inexpensive cameras. Some of the pictures are just stunning. As we looked at them with my grandmother, she would say - 'Oh, I took that.' In fact, she took many of my favorites. Although my grandparents did not consider themselves to be 'photographers' - I do. These are pictures I love to look at - both for their personal historical value and for their aesthetic value.

My mom gave me my first camera and put an slr in my hands as a teenager. She has helped me document my children's lives through pictures and I am pretty sure exactly zero pictures of me as an adult would exist without her (she took the picture of me for this site)! We have a similar style and eye - and at times it is hard for us to sort through and decide who took what picture! I owe her my passion as it is one that we share.

Photography is an integral part of my world. Although my husband rarely uses a camera, his father is an avid wild life photograher. My step father is a talented phtographer as well, although mostly captures great moments through the lens of a video camera now. It is all around me, and I am so thankful.

Enjoy the following pictures. Most were taken by my mom or grandparents - but none were taken by me!
