My friends call me Fink.
I've been taking photos since before I really knew how to use a camera (and thankfully during a time when film wasn't quite so expensive to buy and develop).
My mom has always been the photographer in our family, and I think from a young age I really appreciated that we had all those memories she captured. I would spend hours looking through albums, and loved the idea that a photo was just a moment in time and an anchor to that moment.

I think becoming a mom changed me as a photographer in that I started seeing just how quickly time was moving as my kids grew. And also how quickly they were literally moving, which meant I had to be very fast with my camera (and upgrade my equipment)
While I miss the days in high school and college of developing my own film in the dark room, I do not miss the stress of possibly messing up an entire roll of film, and I appreciate the convenience and speed of digital. You will still see me carrying a film camera at my shoots, though.
