The First Thing I Did With My Very First Camera Was Climb Mt. Fuji. Climbing Mt. Fuji Is A Lesson In Determination And Moderation. It Would Be Fair To Ask If I Took The Moderation Part To Heart.

There's An Idea That It's Hard To Be A Woman Artist. People Assume That Women Have Fewer Opportunities, Less Power. But It's Not Any Harder To Be A Woman Artist Than To Be A Male Artist. We All Take What We Are Given And Use The Parts Of Ourselves That Feed The Work. We Make Our Way. Photographers, Men And Women, Are Particularly Lucky. Photography Lets You Find Yourself. It Is A Passport To People And Places And To Possibilities.
