For Michele McCormick, now based in Folsom, California, photography is a lifelong journey that began more than four decades ago. It started with college studies emphasizing photography, and led Michele into early adventures in freelance writing and editorial photography for publications around the world. Then life took a different path, and she pursued a professional career in which photography took a back seat as an adjunct activity.

In 2010, Michele returned to her early passion for photography, and entered the world of digital photography with energy and enthusiasm. While her emphasis is in the arena of photojournalism, Michele's objective is not to specialize, but to explore the many exciting facets of photography in today's ever advancing technical world. Her philosophy centers on portraying the world that exists, and on understanding how photographic improvements make that elusive goal ever more possible in new and captivating ways.
