My dad gave me a beautiful Nikon film camera when I left for college (thanks dad!). Between my studies and the cost of developing film, I almost never used it. But in the spring of 2004, on my way to Nepal, I laid my hands on a digital camera for the first time and discovered a pastime that quickly became a passion.
Maybe it was because, as a former engineer, I loved the way that photography marries creativity and structure. Maybe it was a way for me to do something that's always been difficult: share what's most personal. What I know for sure is that I'm hooked.
Since that day, I've been constantly searching for opportunities to combine photography with every aspect of my life....friendships, family, work, and (of course) travel. It's a privilege to be able to share part of my journey with you. Thanks for taking a look.
Even before they were the Doroguskers, I loved the Doroguskers! I think this year’s holiday shoot may have been even more fun for me than for them. Either way, we ALL loved the result.
The Heywoods invited me to spend another great Sunday in the Park to celebrate Mekonen’s first year. In addition to being a champ in front to the camera, he is clearly adorable AND stylish. Thanks to Sean and Kuleni for another fantastic day.
Dana you are an artist. You truly capture the soul of the subject. Thank you.
