Susan fell in love with photography at a young age, photographing vintage architecture and scenes along the jersey shore. while studying piano in paris, she studied photography with jill waterman and subsequently had a piano concert/photography exhibit at the fondation des etats unis, paris. susan's specialty was in hand-colored black and white images. after moving to chicago, her main focus has been to highlight the city she loves so much.  as a chicago river architecture guide, her eyes are continually opened to the constantly evolving environment of this bustling city.  most of these images feature chicago, a city she has always seen as "destined for beauty."
