Hello, I am Paula. I am a psychiatrist in New York City. As someone who observes and remembers I have always thought that psychology and photography were inextricably interwoven. I started taking pictures in earnest when my youngest child went to college and I have been addicted ever since. My son taught me how to use photoshop a year ago and I'm still learning every day. I love the way photography allows me to capture a moment in time that would normally be forgotten and make it unforgettable. I stand in awe of all the beautiful things nature has created, and am challenged to do their images justice.

roomwithaview : Just noticed this "thought provoking" entry - One could also add, "A feeling makes you want to create the music, art and photography!" -
and I also wanted to say, I thought your Peace photo should be the winner imho. Cheers, diane
