This is me! I am a Mother, Wife, Daughter, Sister,Friend and an aspiring photographer! Someday I hope to be able to capture and document life as it happens for people (and they will pay me! Hahaha!) Seriously, I have a passion for this and I want to grow and never stop learning. I see photography as an art form that is ever evolving!! Here are some of my favorite quotes! One of my favorites from Ansel Adams...... No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive, create or produce, but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves, their perceptions and emotions, and to build confidence in the creative spirit. Ansel Adams Here is another I love from Bill Gates...... Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose. Bill Gates One from ol' Pablo I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it. Pablo Picasso And my all time fave from Mr. Cosby I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody. Bill Cosby Anyway....don't know if anyone will ever read this but here is my take on my new adventure..... Each image is a gift; something from nothing. It's real, it's beautiful. It's life. Something to say, "We were here, and this is who we were, and it was good." http://cdowell.smugmug.com/Other/Barnwell-Mountain-March-2008/IMG9439/262306459_VDi2R-Ti.jpg http://cdowell.smugmug.com/popular/ 2010-01-07T14:38:57Z Copyright 2010, the copyright holder of each photograph.
