DOREEN'S BIO
Growing up in Jamaica, two of my older brothers were semi-professional photographers. Several times they tried to interest me in photolgraphy, but their explanations seemed like a strange foreign language to me-"f/stops,depth of field, focal length",??!!*** So for the next decades, I happily clicked away with various, but always cheap, point-and-shoot cameras.
Then I retired and went on my first exotic trip to Kenya with another cheap point-and-shoot camera. Bad pictures! Three months later, I went on the next exotic trip to Thailand. More bad pictures! I couldn't figure out why the pictures were bad or how to make them better. So I decided I had to learn more about photography before my next exotic trip to Morocco. A friend of mine suggested I join her camera club. I never even knew camera clubs existed! I bought a digital SLR a few days before the trip, and that's how my love of photography began.
My photographs have been in several exhibitions including at the Manhattan Borough President's office, Cornell Weill Library, and the Art League of Long Island. I intend to continue to learn and improve my photography as I shoot pretty much whatever comes in front of my lens.
Travel and photography, the two best past-times anyone could ask for!
