Norma and her husband Frank left Toronto in 2003 after settling into retirement life to embrace the beautiful highlands of Northumberland County near Rice Lake.

Norma’s interest in photography started at a young age with her first Kodak Brownie camera and the rest is history. Norma took various photography courses at Ryerson University but mostly is self-taught. After some hesitation of giving up film cameras she switched over to the world of digital and is still learning the finer details of this amazing technology.
