AUTHOR: Taffie Bentley (United States)
I'm 77 and have been taking photos for over 55 years. Mostly landscape and nature. I have started slowing down so I'm doing a lot of people photos now but it is not my first choice. ( I love closeup and macro photos of flowers).
I'm self taught but have attended seminars to help me learn.
I print, mount, mat and frame my photos for showing, selling or giving away.
I started collecting old photos from the trash when I was a little girl. Family would throw them away and now I'm the go to person when the family needs a picture. My first camera was an old Brownie and I went up from there.
For me photos are a history of what I see and where I have been. The magic moment in time that will never be again. I consider myself lucky when I come up on a scene and everything is right. I get to stop time for that moment and share the beauty with everybody.
