My name is Marcia Smith. I’m a single mom of an amazing man. When he went off to college, I found myself depressed and with a lot of extra time so I started walking. While exercise is important, I have found that walking is even more vital to mental health. While enjoying the forests and nature hikes around my home town of Portland, Oregon, I started seeing everything as a photo opportunity. In doing so, I not only was able to get some beautiful shots, but also found my mind was cleared of everything except the moments in front of me. All that was left was sheer joy.
My family and friends have encouraged me to share my photos and offer some for purchase. Each of these was taken with my iPhone camera. Many of the images are local but there are also some of my favorite historical and architectural landmarks from travel over the US and Europe. Please visit my store for prints and canvases to purchase.
Thanks!
Marcia Smith
