Once upon a time in a land far, far away...or was it right down the road and just the other day?

Either way it's the beginning of a story.

A story of everyday, told with just a little bit of fairy tale mixed in. A story that begins with the images and goes wherever your mind takes it, a different place for each and every person.

She gets the most satisfaction out of taking a picture. But when she sits down at her computer, the beginnings unfold.

Dodging, burning, boosting contrast and adjusting exposure were all tasked performed in the darkroom that are now tools she has at her fingertips using the computer.
