I always enjoyed taking photos. I just never knew how much. I went to college with a major geared towards fashion. I graduated and needed a job while I looked for my future "Lifelong Career in the Fashion World". Dream filled images of a life much like Carrie from Sex in the City filled my head. You know the one's. Well the GPS had other ideas for me and the road took a much different turn than was intended.
Nonetheless, I found myself working, with much success and profound reflections, in the corporate business world for 18 years. Soon after my decision to leave corporate America my first travels, and first travels abroad, took me to the United Kingdom. The birth country of my husband.
It is here where for 2 months, the world as I knew it, would begin to calm and become clearer for me. I explored the countryside and traveled from the South Coast of England straight to the very top of Scotland and back again. Hardly ever letting my trigger finger off the shutter button.
Upon returning from our travels, the floodgates opened and I was ready to explore and learn about my new passion in life! Everyday is a new adventure, a new learning experience and challenges my mind the way I had hoped my passion would. I wonder if there will ever be a day that I finally feel I have learned it all. The good news is, I don't think so, and that excites me to know!
In the end, I guess you could say the road I began on was the road meant for me I just wasn't supposed to get there very quickly. The art of design, the love of evolving and perfecting that design, combined with the knowledge I have now from over the years tells me I am standing in the place I am supposed to be and not a minute too soon!
