Capturing moments of life on film has been a significant passion of Lindsay's 
							for the last twelve years. She is indebted to influences, such as Henri 
							Cartier-Bresson, Edward Weston, and Bernice Abbott, as well as to personal 
							affiliations: teachers and fellow photographers. She is grateful to them for 
							sharing their enthusiasm and dedication to the art of photography.
							
							
							Since receiving a degree in Fine Arts from Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, 
							Lindsay has held a position as photographer with a company specializing in 
							portrait and candid photos, she has spent close to two years living abroad and 
							concentrating on travel, landscape and architecture photography, and she has 
							continuously been requested to photograph weddings and other events. Thank you 
							for visiting the site, and please feel free to send Lindsay a message to 
							receive more information.
							
							
							"We are passive onlookers in a world that moves perpetually. Our only moment of 
								creation is that 1/125th of a second when the shutter clicks, the signal is 
								given, and motion is stopped..."
