Spotlight Photographer of the Week
Week 19: Michigan
My name is: Carole Anthony
Right now I’m sitting at: My computer editing flower pictures for our flower shop website.
My family includes: Rick, my husband of 41 years, 3 cats & one dog that live with us & 4 adult children out on their own & 3 grandchildren.
The photographer who most inspires me would be: A local photographer Edward Hicks, wonderful human being as well as great photographer; & Monte Zucker.
When hanging out online you will usually find me: I don’t have much time to hang out online, but when I am on, the forum of course, to learn from all these wonderful photographers & sometimes shopping.
The first thing I crave in the morning is: A toothbrush & then coffee.
Don’t tell anyone that I love: Can’t think of anything I love that everyone who knows me doesn’t already know about; sewing, reading & taking dance classes; especially tap
To me “beautiful” is: All of God’s creation; sunsets, mountains, sunshine on new snow, nature, birds, butterflys, etc, etc. also, people’s inner beauty, not the outside shell.
This year’s purchases MUST include: Nikon 70-200 2.8 with vibration reduction for my dance action shots!
My guilty pleasure is: Really good dark chocolate
If I had $500 to spend on myself today, I would buy: I would probably use it to buy a plane ticket to go see Rob & his family in Florida or for Rick & I to go to Myrtle Beach.
I think my best feature: (this is hard for me so I had to ask my husband) would be I am a very giving type person. I get lots of pleasure out of giving to other people or doing stuff for them. I think that is one reason I love photography, when the client is happy with the finished product, it is a great feeling.
I am addicted to: Working out & chocolate (contradiction kind of), but I can’t stand going 2 or more days without some sort of exercise.
One personal goal I have this year would be: To get back in the gym on a regular basis for a weight training program & try to be kind to everyone I meet, because you never know what someone may be going through; also to get my website updated & looking lots better. “Life is so short be grateful for every single day you are given.” I think I just want to be available to anyone who needs a shoulder or a listening ear.
