I took photos all of my life but never really created images until after 2008.  At that point, I discovered a digital camera and learned how to edit with new tools and techniques. I started to see things in a different light.  I joined the Richmond Hill Camera Club, https://www.rhcameraclub.ca and later,  the Toronto Focal Forum, http://www.focalforum.ca/.  From there, I began to develop my skills as a photographer.
