Artist: Shari Crocker
I was first inspired to take pictures when I moved to Indian Lake in 2003. I wanted to capture the beauty that surrounded me starting with a point and shoot camera. As I adventured through the Adirondacks, my focus on nature grew and grew. My camera equipment grew, too. At the time, I was also working on health issues, and later was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2009. In 2011, I left the mountains to move to South Glens Falls to be closer to doctors. A time of adapting to restrictions and continuing to search out nature’s beauty in a city, I found plenty of parks, and continued wandering to find inspiration in nature.
As I keep moving forward, taking pictures and getting around with Parkinson’s, I use my coping skills every day. I may not be able to climb mountains anymore, however I have a scooter and light-weight camera gear which allows me to continue my journey, making a difference wherever I can. I am grateful for my love of life and nature.
