About Suzi

 I couldn't have imagined that while walking into a field of purple and yellow wildflowers on an early August morning I would encounter the sight of a dew drop-covered spider's web backlit by the rising sun.  Or that I would come across a colorful, Disney-cartoonesque mushroom while walking along a river's edge. Or capture photographs of a very pollen-covered bumble bee exiting a Rose-of-Sharon flower.  I've spent countless hours capturing the comical smiles and the delicate dance of dragonflies as they hover over a pond in summer.  

 

In my photographs,  I aim to bring into focus the detailed features of nature’s subjects: details and compositions that people might not typically stop and notice.  The giant, puffy snowflakes that float down around us during a squall, when deconstructed by a camera lens, are actually an aggregation of exquisite ice crystals.  Whether photographing a hummingbird as it darts in and out of a hibiscus flower, a bee pollinating a dandelion in our back yard, or a deer soaring above the grasses in a field, I love the thrill.  Regular-old nature can be beautiful, sometimes humorous, and often spectacular.
