I am a retired photojournalist whose works have been published by the Associated Press and in the Christian Science Monitor. I've worked for several daily newspapers, the last being the Salisbury Daily Times, now Delmarva Now. I spent 5 years combined, on and off, photographing conditions in Third World Countries. I have worked on in-country assignments that included prisons, the homeless, soup kitchens, Native Americans, and celebrities. My on-road and out-of-country assignments were my favorites. Gypsies gonna travel.
I've been fortunate enough to have been able to take months or years off for projects or travel. In the old days, there was always room for a skilled photojournalist to return to the trenches of the newspaper world. Those days are forever gone due to budget cuts and the Internet. And, if you haven't heard, everyone is a photographer these days. My retirement came at a good time, though if any media outlet is in need of an experienced photojournalist to drop off in the middle of a war or war torn country, I'm your gal. Naturally, war is not something that I wish for, but reality tells the informed that there are always hundreds of conflicts, including wars, all over the world at any given time.
Back home, I live with my soulmate of forty-years and our 4 cats. While Aurence works on his amazing art, I spend an enormous amount of time organizing thousands of photos lurking in my computers and going through boxes of negatives and slides, scanning them into hard drives. I also make handmade papers with Aurence, create photo cards, paint, and dabble in whatever media catches my fancy. I never travel without a camera and have built up an eclectic catalog of stock photos for use by businesses and advertisers.
Both Aurence and I are environmentalists. We love to look at something we might otherwise throw away and wonder what kind of art could be made from it. That's how we started making our specialty papers. We are also vegetarians and animal lovers and pride ourselves in our low carbon footprints.
We both hope you enjoy our collections. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
