I was born, not with a golden spoon in my mouth, but rather with a camera in my hand. While some children memorized the multiplication table, I memorized aperture - shutter speed combinations. While I loved photography, I saw how my dad struggled to earn a living and decided I did not want to follow in his footsteps.

Ironically, shortly after I married, my husband decided to purchase a camera store, and so I never moved far away from photography. Over time, I became sole owner of one of the major professional independent camera stores on Long Island. I attended the Leica School, the Nikon School and the Rollei School. I taught photography, and wrote articles for trade publications.

In 1979 I sold the store, and then spent a number of years working in the Audio Visual Industry and the Professional Broadcast Video Industry, utilizing my photographic background.

I purchased my first digital single lens reflex in 2005. I then attended a workshop on digital Photography at the Santa Fe Workshop, given by Sean Duggan. This turned out to be the beginning of the end of denying my passion for capturing light. After completing the workshop I decided I wanted to dedicate myself to sharing, not only my vision, but that of my dad's, John H. Popper. And, being a sort of computer geek, what better way then to create a website to share our images with you. I have also taken a photographic workshop at the Woodstock Photographic Workshop, given by Elizabeth Oparenik. and you will find some of this work in my Portfolio for People. I am currently a member of PWP (Professional Woman Photographers) - NAPP (National Adobe Photoshop Professionals) - PWCC (Park West Camera Club) and the Sierra Photographic Club
