10 Random Things About Me:

1. I was supposed to be a writer, until I realized how much better a storyteller I was with a camera.

2. I also like to knit, crochet and sew.

3. I’ve attempted the Pike’s Peak Marathon four times, and completed it three times.

4. I sing in the car, and at church, but I have never been under any illusion that I could be the next American Idol.

5. I used to play on the women’s rugby team in Little Rock. I don’t play any more, but occasionally I go out to practice to help the younger players. I still think it’s outrageously fun to tackle someone.

6. I like Star Wars, Star Trek, The Lord of the Rings, and Dr. Who. (Yes, I am kind of a geek.)

7. I hate cooking a normal meal, but I love to make fabulous gumbo and jambalaya.

8. I went to Uganda, Africa a few years ago to take pictures for aid organizations, and wound up photographing during a civil war. I fully intend to go back and do this again someday (maybe not the civil war part). All you guys who are just now hearing about Kony? … I wrote a long article in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette back in 2005.

9. I love being outdoors. I grew up on a farm. I’m still a country girl at heart.

10. I also grew up next to the railroad tracks. I love trains. I’m a little obsessed with them. I’m not ashamed to say that I contributed to my two boy’s obsession with trains.
