    Darcien Balog (that's me) started as an amateur-amateur at everything in life.  She started making renaissance clothing 20+ years ago and by 2013 had reached a skilled professional status.  And so it has been with almost everything in her life, from schooling her children at home to crafting for resale to  writing novels.  
    The amateur-amateur photographer, though, is starting college in the fall of 2017 and is focusing on a long-time passion of hers: writing.  In addition to her new studies, she has a proof reading business: WordWright.

    Thank you for stopping by and exploring the photography universe that can be captured with a cell phone.
