I’m a genuine Washingtonian from birth and have loved nature and photography since my early teens. Sadly, I didn’t learn to do photography when I was young. When I finally started in my late 50s it was (and still is) difficult to master the technology. I advanced from a cheap point-and-shoot to the Canon T6i I use now, but still have so much to learn! That does not stop me from the delight of trying to capture interesting bits of beauty that are around us everywhere. I also love the camera in my new iPhone 13.
What a beautiful tribute, I have enjoyed your photos for many years, thank you for sharing all the beauty around us in our beautiful town of Edmonds. I am blessed to know you personally and you have always spread such love and joy to others in so many ways not just through your photo’s.
Kim! How kind of you and I haven’t seen you in ages! Are you still in the Edmonds bowl?
Your photographs are splendid, Denise! Your ability to make a photograph come alive is amazing!!
Thank you, Susan!
Don’t worry about the camera. The i-phones take perfectly good pictures. The photos you have published in MEN have been very good. If you want to improve the only tip I could give is to take some formal education at a local community college. Until you really get into the subject, I don’t think most people ever get beyond a certain level. And as part of that process I would study the history of photography to decide where you fit into the photographic world.
Thanks for the tip, Sam! And yes, the best camera is the one you have with you for that special capture.
Thank you to you and all our wonderful Photographers out there day, night, rain, snow, and sun.
We appreciate all your beautiful photos. Many of us would never see these sights if it were not for your giving us your time to share with us.
You are very kind, Rosemary ~ thanks!
I want to say a huge thanks to Teresa Wippel and My Edmonds News for giving us local photographers a place to share our photos!!!
Beautiful photos, Denise. Thanks for sharing with us.
Hi Margaret!
Hi Denise
If you’re interested, there is a wonderful camera club in Edmonds, Puget Sound Camera Club, that meets on the 2nd and 4th Monday of the month. You can google the website for more info. I’ve been a member for 20 years and have learned so much and enjoy the photography field trips, and photo sharing. We love visitors.
Thanks for the tip, Lynne!
Hello Denise:
The article and following comments are well deserved tributes to your great pictures and the awesome
person you are.
I will continue to enjoy your photos. They bring a smile to my face.
Great to hear from you, Pat!!! You gave me a space to be a photographer of sorts in the retail world of your wonderful Namas Candy Shop and I will always appreciate working with you on that! Hope retirement is treating you well, despite a certain pandemic.
