Memories are at the corner stone of our minds to be given the gift of our memories is simply timeless. Memories of loved ones, special moments are what I have cherished as I have looked back on the many photos that I have taken and many other people have taken over the years. My name is Teri,as I have watched from the side lines of my own life, I have dreamed, I have loved, I have wanted, I have achieved, I have yearned for the possibility to see what my highest potential could be. My desire to be creative has been a journey for me. This journey of memories takes me back to when I first found out I could draw, to taking my first drawing class in community college. Then to creating a project that was beyond what I thought I could create. To be able to take my talent and give it back is what personal success is to me. This journey of personal success that I am talking about is being able to take my personal talent and develop it into a career that I can be proud of. To see people smile is what I love; if it is through a lens of a camera or when they see a photo or slide show presentation for the first time that to me is what life is all about.
