😂😂😂😂Oh that is hilarious. It's supposed to say "way" 😂😂😂😂That is going straight in to "Melissa's Issues" file! 😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤦‍♀️. Oh, I wonder how many mistakes I do each day with out knowing.

You are so kind to me! No one had ever complemented my writing before!! I usually ramble like I will never talk again! 😫😫😂😂

Oh I'm i never took any photography classes until my final year in college. And it just felt right and couldn't get enough. The teacher told me "I don't care what your going to school for, you were born to be a photographer. And then I started learning and reading and  practicing.  It felt right.  Back then I took photos of everything but right before I had to stop due to any accident I focusing on artistic photographs, woman and seniors.  But the artistic ones I love because anything goes 🤗🤗. I still have so much to learn!  So if you love photography then keep at it because, for me, it's like breathing the freshest air and I never feel so alive then when I'm shootig!!

Oh, I give you major kudos!! Nature and insects are one of The hardest things to photograph. So you truly have that innate gift for photography!! Stay with it. And one thing that will save you money, is to spend your money on lenses, over biying a camera body. The lenses are the #2 important thing that makes a photograph truly remarkable! And the first key is the photographer! I'd love to see some if you ever want that! Or if you have questions, I would love to see if I could be usedul in that way. I just miss it so very much!

I found my old (2011 old) Flickr page. It's private but this link will allow you in (and if it doesn't work, I'll get another link).

The images I most proud for never taking pictures like that before are #3-Seperation, #5-sadness (that's the one that gives me the willies because my girls look the par) and #7-Breaking Point (that's the one they put in The museum for a few weeks ). It's also a little g story but it's me growing up in a drug and alcohol home and it was tough..:then my dad got in to Meth which was my breaking point and then he got sober and is the head drug and  alcohol treatment counselor in our county. So it starts dark and then builds towards the present.

Holy wow!! I'm very sorry for the novel I wrote. I tell ya my talking or rambling might start to cause issues one day😂😂😂. Anyway....here's the link. Just click on the picture and it and it should take you right where you want to be😀 The very top photo isn't the first picture, so #1 is right below it. My artist statement is in the top if you click show more. Hope you enjoy them!
