Elaine Mayes has immensely surprised me with her decades of dedication to the arts - photography being her major favorite! Her lively passion for photography began in the 1960's. She describes seeing a scenery as using your eyes, heart, and mind all together to create the captured image. Mayes started her hobby off by just traveling around and shooting locations and people that grasped her interest. She became so addicted, that she traveled to New York from LA to see abnormal sites. Mayes not only took pictures of averages joes, but of famous musicians like Jimi Hendrix. Elaine's main purpose or outlook was to freeze the nature of a person's environment. I think she did a fantastic job at it. Take a look for yourself!!!
