I'm known as the "memory keeper" which seems fitting since I'm usually the one wielding the camera. So when I stumbled upon a “photo of the day” challenge back in 2014 it seemed a natural fit! Little did I know just how transformative and addictive it would become! The fact that every day held photo possibilities was eye-opening in a way I never imagined...and all these years later I'm still amazed! My family and I live on a sliver of sand known as the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

My passion for photography was passed down from my paternal grandparents and my father. As a child, I owned several cameras and captured images of everything in sight. With the advent of the digital era, my love for photography has only deepened. About a decade ago, I became part of a 365-day photography community, and I eagerly embraced the transition to 365 Picture Today. Residing in Southern Idaho's farming and ranching locale, I have the vast high desert of Idaho, Utah, and Nevada at my doorstep. My photographic interests are broad, but wildlife, birds, and nature are my favorites. I'm happily married to my best friend, have three stepdaughters, eleven grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren. Additionally, we have a collection of cats that occasionally make appearances in my photographs.

I’ve enjoyed taking photos most of my life and always seemed to be the family photographer. When I retired I decided to take up photography more seriously. I upgraded my gear and took some online courses to try and hone my skills. But I found I could never think of what to photograph. I just wasn’t creative enough to come up with ideas. I joined a 365 project and haven’t looked backed. I’ve learned so much and have been challenged more than I ever thought possible. I live in Ottawa, Canada with my partner Brian. I have no children of my own but I do have the cutest grandson ever!

I have always enjoyed taking photos and capturing my family and vacations. I received my first DSLR in 2014 and was determined to shoot in manual mode. I started my first 365 Photography Project in January 2015. That experience not only taught me to shoot in manual, but it gave me the confidence to start a photo business for charity that keeps me busy and fulfilled in my retirement. It was a leap of faith to join Amy, Lee and Kris in starting 365 Picture Today back in 2020. It humbles me everyday to be a part of such an amazing community. I enjoy hiking, traveling, reading, and spending time with friends and family. I live in Southeast Virginia with my husband, Mark and we have 3 grown children and 9 grandchildren. I retired from NASA in 2016 after 37 years of service. Life is good!

I first realized that I had an interest in taking pictures in sixth grade when I worked on a Photography badge in Girl Scouts. I took lots of pictures during the next 40+ years of my life, but knew little about what I was doing. That all changed on January 1, 2013 when I started learning about and practicing photography by taking a photo a day. I live in Dallas, TX with my husband, 3 dogs, and a cat. I have 2 grown daughters and 1 grandson.

I have always been interested in photography but didn’t practice enough, so I decided to start taking a photo a day back in January 2014, after been given a DSLR for my birthday in September 2013 and not really using it. I did struggle for the first couple of months to take a photo a day, but taking photos daily made me realise that have lots to learn, and I am still learning. I have been living in Belgium since 1996 with my husband, We have four grown up children, two living in Belgium, two living in the United Kingdom and a dog, who will always sit in front of the camera for a treat!

A warm welcome from Williamsburg, the Colonial Capital of Virginia! After a lifetime in the Maryland suburbs, my husband and I happily relocated here in 2020 which means something good came out of the pandemic! Retiring from homeschooling freed up time for me to explore other interests.
Creativity has always been a part of my life in almost all media, especially photography. In 2015, I began the 365 habit with a mediocre phone. Two years later I invested in my mirrorless Sony a6000, a perfect fit for my shooting lifestyle, and entered the world of manual photography. Like chess, it's a game that you never stop learning.
The most important element of photography is simply noticing what's around you. My noticing has greatly improved after seven years of taking a photo a day. Stick around and not only will you notice more, but discover how many people here want to be your friend!
Happy clicking!

For many years I was a watercolour and oil painter. The pursuit of light on paper and canvas has lead me to the pursuit of a new challenge; creating art using only light in photography. In 2014 I picked up my first good camera and it has ever since been a journey of love and creativity. I am continually on the look out for interesting subject matter whether it be strange, unusual, or beautiful. It is however, all about the light and the framing. I consider myself to be a 'story teller' thus my fascination with documentary photography. I do not have a favourite type of photography. I take pictures of what I see and what I dream. My camera is my appendage; it goes everywhere with me. I continue to grow as a photographer through 365 Picture Today because the challenge of taking a photograph every day also challenges me to be creative every day.
