My
passion for photography started in Cape Town, South Africa when
my dad bought me a camera for my 10th birthday.
In
1977, I immigrated to the USA to study the new subspecialty of
Perinatology (high risk pregnancy management.)
However,
my love for photography never waned and in 2000 I was fortunate
to be able to move to Santa Barbara to pursue photography fulltime.
I attended the Brooks Institute of Photography, followed by the
digital program at Santa Barbara City College.
