I'm located in the western suburbs of Chicago. My photography interests center around macrophotography and monochrome images. I am currently the secretary of the Central DuPage Camera Club. Outside of photography, I am an avid cyclist and I draw with pen and ink. I'm also a connoisseur of a good dad joke.
Kathy Brand
I've been retired for 15 years and love spending time editing my photos in LR and sometimes PS and other apps like Nik Silver Effects and Topaz. I belong to two local camera clubs and the WI chapter of PSA. Because of Covid, all the meetings are now virtual through Zoom but I still enjoy them. Since hair salons were closed at the beginning of Covid, I decided to let my hair grow out and now put a more current picture in my Bio.

Deborah Milburn
I live in Colorado, and I enjoy being in nature. Photography is my passion. I am semi-retired and love to travel. Photography and travel allow me to "tell the story" of what I am experiencing. I want to experience and enjoy each day and each opportunity. I am a member of a local art co-op where I display and sell my images, and I am also a member of our local camera club.
Many thanks,
Deborah Milburn

I picked up my first camera at the age of ten. It was a Brownie Kodak film camera wherein you used a bulb for the flash. I soon graduated to a Minolta film camera when I went on my first backpacking trip with the Girl Scouts in the Big Horn Mountains. My camera collection expanded as well as my curiosity for photography and soon I found myself tinkering with my Father's camera from Germany, a Colorflex. My family's move to Alaska and my Mother's interest in photography only deepened my enthusiasm for the hobby and after university, I decided I would purchase my first digital camera (one where you would put a floppy disk into it). As cameras advanced, so did my passion for photography and travel.

I have a life long love for photography. I was a photographer for the High School yearbook and had a darkroom in my parent’s basement. Unfortunately, I did not seek out the mentorship I needed to be any good. My photography was put on hold during my career and rekindled as I approached retirement in 2021. Now, I am "all in." I belong to a couple surrounding camera clubs and enjoy the camaraderie/mentorship they offer. I am fortunate to live in the backwoods of NC on a horse farm. My photography interests runs wide, but I gravitate towards wildlife. My main camera is the Sony A1.
For Group 66: We love to travel and I can take some photos along the way. That is why I am interested in IR, so I can take travel images during the middle of the day. After attending a presentation by PSA on IR, I purchased a Sony A7cR converted to 720 by LifePixel. I try to keep my travel kit lightweight, so I usually bring the Sony 6700 and Apsc lens. Using an Apsc lens on the high resolution A7cR, it still gives me enough pixels to work with. I look forward to learning and sharing with PSA.
