I wanted to have a farm and horses :)
If you could choose anywhere in the world to live, where would it be and why?
Right where I am. I live in a beautiful area along the Mississippi River in Illinois. There are so many things to photograph The river keeps things alive and makes the sunrises and sunsets so colorful. I am lucky to live in such a beautiful area. I love to share this with other through my photography  
Finish this sentence. On Sunday mornings, you can usually find me...
