Welcome to my site! I am a free lance photographer who has been taking pictures since I received my first brownie camera at age 10. I love photographing landscapes, people and events. I also enjoy watercolors, pastels and collage and I have an MA in Art Therapy. From art teacher to graphic artist to educational psychologist to free-lance photographer and painter, my involvement in expressive arts and image making has taken a few unusual turns. All of them have made the journey a stimulating one. If you'd like you may rate photos, giving a "thumbs up/down" by moving your cursor to the right side of any photo in a gallery. You are welcome to make comments (click comment tab below the gallery). Any of my photos may be purchased in a variety of sizes, or on a variety of merchandise (like mugs, T-shirts) which are great for gifts. Click on "buy this photo" above any photo. You can contact me at ghostranchclaudia@yahoo.com. Thank you for your support of this site. http://claudiatammen.smugmug.com/Favorite-Photos/Favorites-and-Misfits/smugmug-profile-photo3-09/483212684_dc9ff-Ti.jpg http://claudiatammen.smugmug.com/ 2009-08-30T11:35:51Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
