I have been a photographer since 1989. After earning my bachelor's degree in photography and geology, I started Sapphire Photography shooting everything from fashion and weddings to wildlife and landscapes. I started taking photographs with manual SLRs and a medium format Mamiya and have now added 2 digital Nikons to the collection. I do like the versatility and ease of use with the digital cameras, but my first love is my Minolta X370. I will never completely switch over. Call me old school, but I just love slides!
I enjoy sharing my love of photography with others through teaching as well as photographs. I have always felt that your profession should be an asset to your life and never feel like work. I love what I do and I can't imagine doing anything else.
