Cathy's Biography
I became interested in Photography in 2004 when I bought my first digital point and shoot camera. I started shooting insects in the field and birds near a feeder at my house. I was never quite satisfied with my images, and with increasing knee problems in the field, I brought some of my subjects indoors to shoot them. I was hooked. Now almost all my insect and small animal subjects are shot in a small 10’x10’ studio. I used to borrow my insect subjects for a day, but over the years my home has turned into a zoo, with dozens of insects and spiders, 6 tree frogs, 4 geckos, 2 tarantulas, two rats, and one chameleon. I sell my work at stock sites online and I belong to the St. John’s Camera Club and the West Oakland Camera Club.
