Sandvox Website Profile: “Breath of Fresh Air Photography”

The images on this website are the result of a photographic journey I began in 2002 when I received a Nikon Coolpix 4300 point-and-shoot digital camera for my birthday. I have always been fascinated by the ability of photographers to capture a moment in time. I wanted to train my eye to seek out the beauty and uniqueness of the natural world. I am passionate about hiking, backpacking and camping in my little corner of the world, the Adirondacks and Catkills of upstate New York, so it seemed a logical transition to try to capture outdoor experiences with my camera. I continue to learn all I can about the artistic and technical challenges of photography, from analyzing light options and composing a shot, to utilizing all of the features of my camera and enhancing my photos with editing software. The Coolpix camera was eventually replaced by a Canon Rebel XTi DSLR which opened up a whole new world of photographic possibilities. I continue to refine my eye and my art as my husband and I travel to distant places, most recently Arizona, Utah, and Patagonia. My camera is, of course, always at the ready.

I hope to attract amateur and professional wilderness photographers who would appreciate my work. Hikers, backpackers, campers and avid travelers also might enjoy my photos and the captioned descriptions of where, when and how I captured my images.

I wanted a design which wouldn't compete with my photos but rather enhance their presentation on my site.
