First and foremost, I would like to dedicate this site, with all its creativity and care, to my beloved mother, Joan. 

During her brief 59 years of life, she raised a family virtually on her own, always smiling and encouraging us to follow our hearts and dreams. 

She was my original inspiration, when, at the age of 7, she gave me my first camera and told me that I “could accomplish anything I set my mind to” and that she would “always be proud of me”.
