I got the interest in photography from my dad and in nature from my mom. I chronicle nature, family, events, sometimes meaningful sometimes random. It is a hobby that I enjoy. I have lived in Waltham for 29 years. I love visiting the countryside but love living right in the city. I love having a choice where I can walk, bicycle or drive to the supermarket and other places if so desired.
