Jane: I have always taken pictures as a hobby. I also have low vision so, often I take pictures just so that I can enjoy the scenery more by reviewing the pictures later on. However, when I moved to Idaho for a while, I started taking a lot more pictures because it is so beautiful there. I took a lot of pictures of nature - mountains, trees, rivers and so forth.
I want to add a funny story. In the past, when I took pictures, my boyfriend used to tease me asking me why I was taking so many pictures. He challenged me, saying, “What will you do with all those pictures??” I had no comebacks for him. Now that I have joined Vizi365, I now have something to say back to him… “I am making money with those photos!!”
Vizi: Where and when did you take that winning photo? What is the story behind the picture?
Jane: I took the picture in Stanley, Idaho some time ago… My boyfriend and I went fishing one day and I saw the vintage truck and trailer. I thought it was unusual because usually, it is a new, or modern truck and an old, or vintage trailer, or an old, vintage truck with a new, modern trailer, but this time, both were vintage. I thought it was so cool.
Vizi: What equipment did you use for that shoot?
Jane: I cannot remember the exact name of the phone, but it was an android that I used.
Vizi: What advice would you give someone who would like to become a photographer or a Vizi Affiliate?
Jane: When taking pictures, be more conscious and focus on your subjects. Be aware of items that might distract from the beauty of the photo.
Congratulations to Jane Cummings! Good luck with your future photo entries!
