“I want to capture the beauty and
emotion of light, for that is the
essence of God.”
emotion of light, for that is the
essence of God.”
Back in 1980, I borrowed my sister’s 35 mm camera while visiting her in
Colorado. I was awestruck by the beauty of the mountains and took many
pictures in Rocky Mountain National Park. After returning to New Jersey and
seeing the results of my first photographic adventure, I ran out to buy my first
35mm camera and vowed I would someday live in Colorado.
I am a self-taught photographer, learning through written material, from the
knowledge of various photographers I have met through the years and through a
lot of trial and error.
I lived in Maine for ten years practicing my photographic skills and working full
time as a registered nurse. I worked in the local hospital nursery, both as a nurse
and had a successful business photographing the baby’s first pictures. Even
though I enjoy taking portraits, my true love is to photograph God’s beautiful
creations in nature and, with that in mind, I moved with my son and my partner
to Colorado Springs, Colorado.
I started my business, Yarra Images, selling fine art photographic prints and
cards, while I continued to work in the medical field. I have won several awards
for my work and I sell prints and/or cards in over 10 different locations, including,
Garden of the Gods Visitor Center, Colorado Springs; Air Force Academy Rampart
Range Lodge, Colorado Springs; Gallery of Life, Colorado Springs; Pikes Perk
Coffee Houses (several locations in Colorado Springs), Gentry’s Flowers, Colorado
Springs; The Green Horse Gallery, Manitou Springs; and The Great Frame Up,
Amesbury, MA.
I use a Nikon F100 camera with Nikon Lenses, a Manfrotto tripod by Bogen,
Tiffen filters, Fuji Velvia film and I carry it all in a Lowepro backpack. When I take
my photographs, I use filters and camera adjustments to get the original slide to
fit my vision of the photograph. If any cleaning or adjustments are needed
afterwards, I use Adobe Photoshop to do the digital work. Accent Photo Imaging,
in Colorado Springs, prints all my photographs with Fuji archival inks and papers.
