Leandra discovered her passion for photography during her elementary school years while being a part of the 4H club. However, it wasn't until she became a mother that she decided to improve her photographic skills. In 2004, after retiring from Architectural Drafting, Leandra became a stay-at-home mom. While volunteering at her daughter's school, she became friends with the teachers and contributed pictures for the yearbook. Since then, she has polished her photography skills to include a wide range of subjects such as sports, portraits, landscapes, nature, events, and night photography. Leandra is currently serving as the newsletter editor for the Camera Club Council of Tennessee and a member of Tennessee Professional Photographers, Brentwood Photography Group, and Southern Appalachian Nature Photographers.

Episode 4 - Emil Davidzuk
Emil is from the St Louis area and his favorite subjects are landscapes, nightscapes, flora, cars and machines, old barns, the list goes on and on. According to Emil, "I am processing more of my images in black and white. I was inspired by St Louis landscape photographer, Jack Curran, after attending several of his lectures. My attraction is simple: a good black and white image is all about the composition and the artistic editing to enhance the light and draw the viewer into my images." You can view Emil's photography on his Pixels site or his Facebook page.
