Wedding Photographer that shoots lots of other things. I always have my cameras with me. I like any kind of cameras as long as they take a photo.Also, I collect NON-working, broken SLR lenses for any make of camera.

Love the colors blue, teal, turquoise, orange, and silver....and combos of pink & orange, or lime green & turquoise

I love sterling silver jewelry (it's ALL I wear) especially handmade sterling silver jewlery....also like blue topaz, and pearls (all colors, including dyed) I like bangles and bracelets. Necklaces (at least 18 inches long) and rings (US sizes 6, 7, or 8) I like leather cuff bracelets too.

I have long, brown, naturally curly hair.

I wear pierced earrings (sterling silver of course), and have multiple holes on each ear, but prefer to wear dangles on the lower holes and studs on the rest.

I love WHITE tulips.

I also like to GeoCache.

I like handmade items...just about any kind! I like to see the caring and love put into something by a creative mind. I love shopping on Etsy! (I have a faves link above, but it is not meant for you to purchase from there...just give you helpful ideas....unless it for an Etsy swap!)

I like the moon. Either a full moon or just a thin crescent moon. And stars too. Shooting stars are cool!

Like fruity scents. My favorite flavors are strawberry, coconut, cinnamon... and I love coffee too!

I love to visit New York City. I love the sights, sounds, and people-watching.

I want to go to the UK (England and Ireland), and the Mediterranian areas of Greece, Italy and Turkey, so anything related would be great. I'm trying to learn Italian.

I dabble in lots of crafts....since I am creatively inclined and find it easy to do most things......I've done just about everything....watercolors, polymer clay, jewelry making, calligraphy, crocheting, and paper crafts, rubber stamping, and collage.... to name my more favorites.....but my true love is PHOTOGRAPHY. I specialize in wedding photojournalism ( see my website http://www.michellepetersphotography.com and photo blog http://blog.michellempeters.com ) but I will shoot anything with my Canons!

Also, non-US coins.

A well-thought out swap. Thoughtful items with thoughtful packaging. I try to recycle when I can (boxes, packing and wrapping) and appreciate when I receive shipping that has been recycled too!

I send on time. And rate as soon as swaps are received.
