I am a retired registered nurse from Gig Harbor Washington USA. I am a novice photographer, dare I even call myself a photographer. I do love taking pictures. It is so healing for me. After years of being exposed to so much pain and suffering in my chosen profession, it is now time for me to relax and enjoy the creative side of life. I am enjoying myself completely. I do need feed back. However, I am still a bit hesitant to submit my work because this site has such beautiful work. I am afraid my work will draw too many laughs. I need gentle, kind, assistance, at first. Once I get acclimated to the territory I am sure I will develop a thicker skin. Hopefully this will be understood by any interested individuals. Thanks for reading me. My Name is Teri
