Florence, SC
“I am a freelance photographer from Bishopville, SC and began my lifelong fascination with photography as a child. I enrolled at Francis Marion University in 1976. I have been a resident of Florence, SC, since college and still live here with my family.
After graduation from Francis Marion University, I became a Sales Manager and Account Executive for a large textile manufacturer. My constant companion on these travels was my Yashica 35mm SLR camera. After the demise of the company in 1999, I began a new career as a jewelry artist and photographer.
There is an old adage which is remarkably suited to the camera lens, “”We don’t remember days, we remember moments.”” For me, photographs are not simple images. Each one is a memory of a special moment in time.
Each and every day offers something new and exciting to photograph. These days, my companion has become my Nikon D3100 DSLR camera. I still prefer to capture images as I see them with very little digital enhancement.”
