About the Author

"My life began in the summer of 1977, I was the first of ten children born to my parents Dan and Deborah Powers, who are still married to this day! Growing up, my mother was a very musically oriented person. A violinist from her childhood, she insisted that we all learn the piano and then we could pick another instrument after understanding the fundamentals of music. I chose the trumpet, because it was brass, and I was always fascinated by the warm sounds the trumpet made. I only played for about eight years, up until my junior year in high school, but it taught me an early lesson. Practice and repetition is really the only way to fully understand and master such an instrument.
I started taking black and white photography in high school, which quickly replaced my interest in the trumpet. I was so fascinated by the whole process, and I might add, this was before the digital age of photography. We were taught how to take pictures on a completely manual camera, develop the negatives, and then make prints off those negatives! Let me just say, this was my world and I was ready to go to college for photography and wanted to be a stock image photographer for a profession. However, after high school, I attended a junior college and started to take photography courses as well as Art classes, which were required as prerequisites for the photo classes. This wasn’t my first exposure to art, when I was in middle to junior high school; I was in an art class in a private Christian school. I remember this teacher explaining terms like line width, texture, shapes, and composition of all of these to create a work of Art."
