The way my man smiles....he fills the whole room with joy.

English and Pig Latin.

I didn't go to school for photography? I am self taught.

7 is my favorite number.

Who? Just kidding! Of course!

I am a total introvert. I have no idea how I do my job, which forces me to act as an extrovert.

That would be Train! Wow, do they give a great show!

None. I have too many gadgets to keep track of now.

Absolutely! The next class will be announced as soon as there is enough interest. Just shoot me an email address to be added to the class announcement list. :)

I love to cook when I have the time. Indian, Thai and Jamaican foods are my favorite.

Haha! All things are possible with God, yet, I've never seen it happen ;)

Thank you! I use Lightroom and PS.

New York! It is visual eye candy! I love being just a short train ride away.

I use so many and each image determines the action or none at all. Love anything from Totally Rad, MCP, Florabella, Itty Bitty, Red Leaf, Nichole Van and OTSS

Get your exposure correct in camera first and find the best light. It will make pp much easier. I use Lightroom first to adjust exposure and white balance and then each photo goes to PS, for artistic edits. I do different sharpening, depending on what the image needs. Sometimes I will use one of my favorite actions and sometimes not.

Actually, yes they are.

My scariest experience was in Acapulco, Mexico. I was visiting a roadside zoo. There were all kinds of wild animals, some merely chained and others roaming freely.

There was a lion chained to a metal pipe and the boy that was showing us around, leaned over to pet it. He motioned for me to do the same.

I was very hesitant, but I was thinking, "What a great picture this will be!" So I crouched down near his back end and reached to pet him. A friend took the picture and as my arm was outstretched, he lunged at me and missed my arm by just a couple inches.

Needless to say, I had nightmares for weeks after that. I guess reality bit me... my children could have been motherless if he had gotten hold of me.

Hmmm...this sounds like a question my daughter SARAH would ask. I'll have to think this over and get back to you.

Just kidding.

I would definitely save my daughter. I could always get another camera, but Sarah is one of a kind ;)

That is a tough one. My go to lens that is on my camera 90% of the time is my Canon 50mm 1.4. I do most all of my shooting with this lens. It's sharp, fast and the bokeh is dreamy and beautiful.

However, I will say I love to use my 70-200mm 2.8 whenever I get the chance. It is fast, sharp and great for low light and candid shots. It has image stabilization, which rocks, but It's pricey and heavy, weighing more than 3lbs. However, I can't imagine living without it, now that I have had it for so long.
