I'm delighted for this opportunity to share my niece's work. Looking at these pictures is seeing from her eyes the wonders around us, in nature, people, and commonplace things. This collection represents Julie's work over several years. During that time, she has developed her eye and photographic vision for things great and small. A contributor to this development has certainly been her exposure to a variety of foreign cultures and lands--but her images from 'home' are just as impressive.'
