Storytelling is my passion. In words or pictures. To share the world I see, filtered through my personal sense of reality, truth or beauty (which are not necessarily the same vision).

This site is a work in progress. I'll be editing it and adding to it from time to time, when not swamped with book and article deadlines, consulting projects, preparing for exhibits, and giving workshops and seminars with my husband Daniel. (Please click on my portrait photo to the left to find out about some of my activities. You might also want to check out our Website at www.Grotta.net.)

By the way, Daniel's and my newest book -- "PC Magazine Digital SLR Photography Solutions" (John Wiley) -- was recently published and is available at all bookstores.

Please check out my new portrait project at www.WordsmithsProject.com. I am creating interpretive portraits of the people who influence what we read... editors, publishers, literary agents, critics and others. If you have suggestions of individuals I should consider photographing for this project, please contact me.

At present, most of the photographs on this site are in private galleries, to help me deliver various projects. Please click on the thumbnail pictures, below, to view slideshows of some of my work. (Depending on the speed of your Internet connection, the first two slides may take an extra second or two to load.) Thank you.
