I like to write and take pictures, especially with old film cameras. I blog to give myself a means to combine these two interests. I’m busy though, so I don’t do any of these things nearly as much as I’d like to. I used to feel guilty about neglecting this site, but then I realized that blogging neither is nor should be a priority in my life.

I also play roller derby for the COMO Derby Dames and you’ll be reading a lot about that here as well. I have a son named Rio who will make an appearance in the photos from time to time, as well as my stepchildren, of whom there are 8 in all. My very virile husband is my hero, and I like to brag about him too.

My favorite way to find photos is to simply take a walk with my camera. It never fails. Walking is good medicine.

I’ve begun collecting vintage cameras. I now have a gallery of photos of all the cameras in my collection.
