Kristi was born in 1972. Her developmental years were spent in the somewhat austere setting of Central Texas and the serene beauty of the rolling green hills of the highlands. At the age of eighteen, her father presented her with her first real camera, his old 35mm 1000dtl SLR. A few months later, she moved to the gulf coast, south of Houston where the gorgeous, colorful sunsets and exotic wildlife of the coastal swamps piqued her interest in nature.
A lot of study and some classes in photography led her to the somewhat mundane pursuits of portrait and wedding photography. The artistic dictates of portrait posing, and the constant search, for the perfect emotion capturing shot at a wedding, though gratifying, seemed somehow lacking.
Several years later her husband, Emil, was transferred to Wyoming, where Kristi's love of nature was promptly renewed. The graceful, majestic beauty of a family of mustangs roaming free and wild, against a backdrop of mist shrouded, snow capped mountains, rekindled an old craving. The desire to capture a moment in nature with her camera. A moment she saw as otherwise, lost to time.
She and Emil often roam the undeveloped Wyoming countryside in search of "the perfect shot." Although Kristi suspects there is no such thing as the perfect shot, she happily continues the pursuit.
Occasionally, she puts away the high tech digitals, and brings out an old friend, the 35mm 1000dtl SLR.
