PHOTO ART BY SUSAN WILLIAMS



I've always loved art and have been in awe of people who create it.  As an English major at Portland State University (BA, 1985), I marveled at how a poet could put words together in a brand new sequence that no one ever used before.  Great art stays with us and leaves an indelible imprint; a lasting image.

When I first started traveling , I considered becoming a travel writer.  I wanted to record my experiences - especially the unexpected beauty of each new place.  And then I fell in love with digital photography.  Now I use the photographs to record my travel memories. 

As a photographer, I "see" things differently than I used to.  Even when I don't have my camera with me, I notice colors, textures and other unexpected things that capture my attention.  Things I used to overlook - the shadows in a passageway; ripples of water in a fountain; colorful rounds of cheese in a market stall - can be captured as lovely, lasting images.  For me, it's just a new kind of poetry.
