Andrea Canter
“I got my first camera--a Brownie Star Flash--when I was 8, graduated to an Instamatic as a young teen, an Olympus rangefinder for college graduation, and my first SLR when I was 30. I migrated to digital about 25 years later... and here I am. For the past ten years I have worked primarily as a jazz blogger and performance photographer, returning more recently to my "roots" in exploring the natural world and the angles and abstractions of urban scenes and details. I am no longer a purist and find inspiration --but not necessarily final satisfaction--in nature and landscape. Some images just ask me to take them somewhere else.” Andrea Canter
