I am originally from Los Angeles, CA. I taught 3rd grade for 17 years. I I have always loved photography, especially Ansel Adams. I have always loved the southwest. So I split my college experiences between UCLA and the University of New Mexico. I took one spring break to explore Arizona which is incomplete without a lengthy stop at the Grand Canyon.
