As a teenager, Lynda was interested in photography but it wasn’t until many years later that she had the time and opportunity to pursue it. Born in San Diego, California, Lynda grew up primarily in the agricultural valleys of central California. A working mother, photography didn’t fit into her busy life until she took an early retirement in 2002 and began to pursue it as a “serious hobby”. In 2005, Robert and Lynda moved to the Oregon coast, where the beauty of the rugged coastline further inspired her interest in photography and it became a serious endeavor.
“Photography is my passion”, she says now. It became truly exciting in 2006 when she first began photographing the Gray and Humpback Whales in the frigid Alaskan waters where they feed; and later photographed them in the warm waters of Mexico where many bear their calves. She suggests, “Try floating in a small Zodiac next to a magnificent 30-40 ton Gray or Humpback Whale to really get your blood pumping! It’s the most inspiring and thrilling thing on earth.”
Thanks in part to her husband’s encouragement and penchant for travel, photography is now an important part of both of their lives. Those occasional getaways often offer new photographic opportunities that sometimes include Lynda’s favorite subject, which she says, is “almost anything to do with the sea!” Lynda is an award-winning photographer and has been published in Photographer’s Forum Magazine, receiving an Award of Excellence. A nature-lover at heart, Lynda’s web site includes some new and varied favorites such as butterflies and flora of the Rain Forest, wild birds of the tropics as well as man-made wonders such as the ancient ruins of Turkey, Rome and Greece, and the Pyramids and Great Sphinx of Cairo, Egypt.
Tomorrow? “Who knows, depending on my husband’s zest for travel, I could be photographing some of nature’s wonders almost anywhere. But for now, I’d like to concentrate on the bounty of beauty right here in our own backyards, the magnificent Pacific Northwest. ”
