Sandra began her love of photography in the late 60s when she borrowed a camera for a photography class and began capturing her surroundings.  She found refuge from the petty wars of high school by feeling her way in a darkened room, spooling film into a black box and watching images magically appear in the developer.  Many years later she no longer spools film or seeks refuge from high school.  Instead, she's moved on to capturing digital images and developing in a digital darkroom.  The Pandemic caused her to pursue creativity inside her home and backyard.  As a result, many of her images are self-portraits.  She finds it's easier, as the subject knows what the photographer wants and works cheaply.  She is most creative when participating in photography scavenger hunts where photographers are given 9 words to interpret as they wish.

Sandra resides in Hercules, California with her husband, a dog and a very unfriendly cat.
