"Photography takes and instant out of time, altering life by holding it still." ~Dorothea Lange

Here is a candid photo of Michele, a science teacher, exploring the biodiversity found in the shallow waters off of Hog Island. I’ll have a more formal portrait to share of her sometime soon and will take opportunity, then, to write a bit more about her. …but in the interim, I thought it would be fun to post a different kind of image. Since my project intent was to create formal portraits of Audubon staff, volunteers, and program participants, one of my challenges was to convince people to take part. This is not easy! …but Michele always was open to making a photograph. Thank you, Michele. Your patience meant much.
