Bio

Photography was always a major interest for me from the early 1970s, when I bought my first SLR camera, the Honeywell Pentax. Since I have retired, I have become more active in photography and hope to improve my skills and learn as much as possible in the field. I am currently using the Nikon D300.

I love being outdoors and appreciate nature, especially birds. My newest activity is fly-fishing. I also scuba dive and recently began taking underwater photos. I was born and raised in Brooklyn and now I live on Long Island, NY. I love where I live! We have many beaches and parks with abundant wildlife. This is a wonderful place for taking photos, and I enjoy sharing them on Flickr and on my websites. Visit my blog, Long Island Woman, to see and read about Long Island. My photos are of Long Island, New York City and my world travels.

Hope you enjoy your visit to my galleries!

Testimonial

Alida's Pictures are very sharp and beautifully colored! She does an excellent mix of Black & White too. The B&W's that I have looked at have had wonderful tones and excellent contrast! Looking at her pictures really does take me to the sea!
