Gerri, a retired research biologist, worked at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory for 35 years publishing articles on phenomena as disparate as photosynthesis and cancer. She’s also an artist and has worked with a variety of media. As perhaps the most “scientific” of the arts, she was naturally drawn to photography.

Gerri first got into photography when in college and shot film. Years later, she purchased her first digital camera, a Fuji 2800zoom, and it was “love at first shot.” After using a number of digital cameras, including advanced models, Gerri upgraded to a digital DSLR, the Canon XSi.

Gerri’s photos have been awarded several blue ribbons, many Best of Shows in Fairs and a spot on a TV website. She’s also had requests to use her photos as references/inspiration for high end artwork. Two of her photos were selected for inclusion in the Arizona Highways 2009 Photo Workshop pamphlet, and another was selected as a finalist in the first ever Arizona Highways photo contest.

Although Gerri will photograph almost anything, she finds many of her best shots are “catch the moment” human interest photos of people and animals. She believes that the more you shoot and the more you look at photographs, paying special attention to things you like about them, the more you will improve your photographic skills.

Gerri and her husband reside in central Arizona, USA.
