My mom had Polio when she was 12 years old and though she was walking afterwards most of her life many times she used her handicap to not do things. She let it limit her. I find it fantastic that you at a much more advanced age as she was when she passed away still show such a spirit and get out there and do what you love best. I am just getting in to photography again having once done it with my first husband. Mostly black and white, developing and printng our own work and cyba chrome printing from slides. After we parted it was to expensive a hobby for me so I let it slide. Not too long ago I came acrosse a Canon Rebel 2000 EOS 35 mm camera and started getting into it again. Having had several low end digital cameras that did not give me the picture quality I wanted I used this camera. Then by luck I won an auction on ebay and got a very nice refurbished Canon Rebel XTi that was compatible with the lenes I had for my other film canon. Now I am out there taking pictures again and learning many things that are relevant to digital photography and also learning thie new camera. If DPS keep putting out the lessons I keep snapping and hope that in time will produce some really nice pictures.
My compliments to you though personally for keeping going even with a handicap. Goes to show that where there is a will there is a way.

You may have been given a disability, but you have been
blessed with an eye for capturing at the right moment a
photo that lasts forever. Much credit to you for never
letting the “wheelchair” or your “Age” hold you back.

I love your photos. I am a 60 year old grandmother and just learning how to use my Canon Rebel XT. Your story is so encouraging, I will keep on keeping on!
