Her most recent photography learning experience has been with the talented photographer and instructor, Alison Hahn.

You will quickly observe that frequently Henry pairs a thought provoking quote with an image; thus bringing a unique poetic side to a particular image. Henry says:
“‘The Arts’ have been an integral part of my life from a very early age; first as a professional musician, and later in life as a visual artist. My passion for finding beauty in what may be sometimes considered unexpected places, is very evident to the viewer. The artist’s eye sees colors, shapes, and details often missed by others.”

Sue:
Your comment on my Dahlia photo Included the following: “I always enjoy reading your EXIF data and would love to know more about how you shoot these wonderful images.”
I know what you mean about exif data–I appreciate that information when viewing the images of others as it helps me learn.
I would be happy to share with you whatever I know about photography. I’m thinking of how we might go about this. The easiest for me would be to answer questions you pose. What do you think? Do you have any other ideas?
I am largely self taught, having taken a few photo classes. I, too, am now retired and enjoying the opportunity to pursue photography.
Warmly,
Anita

I found your blog from your posts on one of the forums, and I just love your photography and artistic eye. I’ve added a link to your blog from mine and would love to have you write something as a contributing author for me if you would be interested.
Keep up the great work.
Nigel
