Mary Brown. Art has been a part of my life since I was old enough to hold a pencil. Then I received my first camera when I was nine-years-old. It just seemed so natural for my love of art to transfer to the art of photography. After many years as a graphic designer/art director, I’ve full circle, merging graphic arts with the photography. I have always believed the statement, “A picture is worth a thousand words,” and I try to tell a little bit of the story with every photo I take. For 2010, I plan to challenge myself by participating in a 365 challenge—letting the year unfold with a photo a day.

I currently reside in Newark, NJ and more of my work can be seen at Mary Brown Photography and on my Flickr page.
