of the darkroom! Every so often she sets up equipment purchased second-hand to make her own
prints at home. She is also learning about her new “Holga” plastic camera. “Taping it up for light
leaks is just as exciting as pressing the shutter button!”, she says.
Shirley loves to make images of people. Children are especially beautiful in their unguarded, free
moments; curious, natural, pure, and innocent. She is currently compiling a portfolio of B/W and
Color images entitled Children for the Portfolio class at Palomar College.
Foreign travel also intrigues her. She enjoys the adventurous journey as much as the final
destination. A solo train ride from Hong Kong to Beijing to meet a new Chinese friend, lush hikes
through the rain forests of Costa Rica to swing from the vines, abseiling into Waitomo Caves of
New Zealand to see the glow worms … all of which … and then some … are captured on film to
carry home.
Shirley’s spare time finds her teaching Spanish to high school students. After fifteen years, she
can still say that she loves teaching, albeit trying to motivate high school students can be
challenging. “Perhaps some day I’ll find myself teaching classes at a junior college”, she says.
As for now, Shirley continues to grow in her photographic hobby with the help and guidance of so
many great and experienced photographers that she has meet along the way, hoping to some day
turn around and impart the same knowledge and creativity to another.
