Taking photos to create art, or even to tell a story, is a continuous journey of discovery. Surprisingly, I started to see life differently once I viewed the world through my camera lens. 

I’ve been a member of the Maui Camera Club for several years and I always learn something new from other members and through our monthly photo sharing forums.

Picture taking has been something I’ve enjoyed for as long as I can remember but my camera was always set to auto mode.

I recently started using manual mode and joined the Maui Camera Club. There’s so much to learn and I am very excited to be part of the club. With the support of fellow members, I’m hoping to develop new skills and become a better photographer.

I love capturing the moment with my camera.  Ansel Adams once said, “You donʻt take a photograph, you make it.” With todayʻs software weʻre able to create the image that either resembles what I saw or resembles what I wanted to see.

The Maui Camera Club has been a valuable learning environment for members of all skill levels as well as a great place to make new friends.

I'm always inspired by the sharing of fellow members when I listen to them and see their work.  Photography is a de-stressor - just pick up your camera and go anywhere! 

So many friends I've made, so much I learn, and so much fun at our meetings and outings!

I really love being part of the Maui Camera Club - I've learned so much from the other members and my photography has definitely improved as a result.

I also enjoy our outings and seeing everyone's images - as a bonus, I've made some friends for life!

​My first camera was a Kodak Instamatic.  When I got my first DSLR, I was hooked.  I love the technology, and how I can use photographs to tell a story.
