Photography has enriched my life in so many ways! First, I've started to look at things differently. I can't drive down the street without scoping out possible locations. I see potential and beauty in things that I didn't see before. Next, St. Louis is full of so many wonderful places that I probably wouldn't go visit if it weren't for photography. I'm starting to explore small corners of our city and getting to know it's parks. Last but not least, new friends! I'm meeting wonderful new people who share my obsession.

This past weekend I got together with some fellow photographers for a photo swap. They took pictures for my family, and I took pictures for theirs. We went to Central West End which is one of those places I would've never explored if not for the sake of picture taking. We had a great time!!
