Photography by Kim Manley Ort
After majoring in Math in College, I spent seven years in the business world. Never thought of myself as an artist, although I loved to draw when I was young. My mother gave me a camera and photography book when I graduated from college, and I snapped a lot of photos over the years.
Then, when I was almost 40, I became fascinated with Ansel Adams and took my first darkroom photography class. I WAS HOOKED! I love, love, love photography and want to share some of that love with you.
I am a member of a cooperative gallery of 20 wonderful artists in Zionsville, Indiana called Art In Hand Gallery.

- Beautiful photography Kim. Might I suggest you check out my 'Photo Gallery - New Module' lens. Your lens jumps quite a bit and I think I might have the solution for this in my lens. I hope it will help. I would like you to submit this lens to my 'Staycation' lens. I feature many artists there and I would be pleased to feature this lens when you get the jitters fixed.
