Valerie Whittier
We were lifelong residents of Massachusetts until Richard’s employer picked us up and planted us in Texas. We are often on the road, traveling between Texas and Massachusetts. Living in the Dallas Fort Worth area has also opened up many opportunities to explore the western United States.
The beauty and variety of scenes that we encounter as we travel the US has re-ignited my interest in photography. As the camera that I always have with me, my phone is the source of many of my photos. Although the phone often achieves impressive results, sometimes more control is necessary.
I have recently purchased a Sony Alpha 9 mirrorless camera. It is lighter than my Nikon DSLR, which makes it easier to be “the camera that I have with me.” To Richard’s dismay, haven’t read the manual. I have never read a camera manual. If I feel the need for more information, I look it up!
