Hi, my name is Debbie Howser and I live in beautiful Litchfield, CT. I started dabbling in photography way back in the “olden” days.  Remember those antique cameras that actually opened and you could pop a film roll in?  My first camera was a  Micky Mouse camera that took 135mm film, oh did I LOVE that camera.

My father was an avid photographer and I was fascinated with all his cameras, so of course I played with them….. when he wasn’t looking.  He had built his own darkroom, so I played in/with that too  🙂  In Jr. High I got my first fancy, really cool, SLR…. a Canon AE1…. no more of those old range finders that my father let me use.  Then in High School I got my first… sort of…. kind of…… photography job. I was hired by a building inspector to enlarge photos of cracks in buildings, well that was exciting…. or not.

So excited to get my first digital camera when they reached the market… woo hoo!!! no more film!!  I loved taking photos, but HATED getting the film developed…. to this day I still have unprocessed rolls of film laying around… nothing important I assume.

My passion for photography has once again emerged,  I love photographing animals, sports and nature…. or anything that comes my way.  I recently wanted to meet other people in my area who also have a photography interest and therefore I formed Litchfield Photography Club.

I currently teach Introduction to Photography,  Digital Photo Organization and Storage, Computer Maintenance and Troubleshooting, and Computers for the Novice through EdAdvance in Litchfield, CT.  They offer a variety of classes in several locations!
