I grew up and currently live in St. Louis, Mo. Our family spent four years in Boston where my husband was a resident at the Massachusetts General Hospital. I have a grown son and daughter and four grandchildren. I spent the last six years before retiring commuting to New York where I worked for MetLife in charge of all benefit programs for active and retired employees and was a member of the Metlife Merger and Acquisition team. Upon retiring in 2006, I began to pursue an interest in photography taking classes and becoming active in the St. Louis Camera Club. Although I loved the darkroom, I decided to focus on digital. Two years ago I won a membership to PSA. I became Photojournalism Interclub chair for the 2008-2009 club year and also won my first bronze medal in the most recent 75th Anniversary Exhibition. We have always loved to travel and I use travel as an opportunity to capture interesting people and beautiful places. I have (successfully) entered a number of PSA approved exhibitions to receive feedback on my images and look forward to this study group as a way to be exposed to expert photography as well as receive constructive feedback on my images.
