Hi!
I am a macro photographer from Western Massachusetts. My macro journey started years ago when I saw a very up-close photo of a jumping spider online. It actually had a face! I was intrigued. I really wanted to take these types of photos.
The problem was, I had severe arachnophobia...
This was a big issue, as I would need to get close to spiders to get macro photos. And so, my adventure began! It took a few years, but I was able to desensitize myself and cure my arachnophobia. As a grand finale, I held a tarantula.
Now practicing macro photography regularly is my passion. I love hunting through the yard or the woods, looking for creatures to photograph. It's amazing what you see when you pause and look, really closely, at the world around you.
