Through Amy's Eyes - Photography by Amy Beste: July 2016

About Me:

An elderly woman stood looking out a large window one evening.

I asked if she was waiting for someone. She replied that she came here every evening. She was losing her eyesight and wanted to see every sunset she could before that time came. This proved to be a profound moment for me.

Fast forward to 2013, I was looking for something to fill the void that used to be spent caring for my sons and my ailing father. I saw the most beautiful sunset over the frozen lake, pulled my car over and stopped to enjoy it remembering the elderly woman's words.

Having only a smart phone, I snapped away at the beauty hoping to catch it.

My love for photography began.

Self-taught and told I had a "natural eye", I learned photography through trial and error. Combined with my love of nature and hiking, photography has become a passion.

Photos and artwork are now available for purchase through https://society6.com/amybeste link or by contacting me directly at amybestephotography@gmail.com. Apparel with my prints are also available at http://shopvida.com/collections/voices/amy-beste. Thank you for your support!

I thank Regina, that elderly woman, for opening MY eyes so that I may see.
