Debbie Poulin
I’ve always been drawn to things that don’t jump out at you, but sit patiently waiting to be heralded. I like to return to the same place when possible at different times of year or day when the light has changed. The perfect tree isn’t what I want to capture, it’s the oddball tree with an old ornament still hung on it that makes me press the shutter.
