Tracy Gregorash Hi, I'm Tracy and I live in Minnedosa, Manitoba.In 2020, just prior to the pandemic, my husband gifted me a camera. I think he saw it as a way to keep me busy rather than having to listen to me go on and on about every detail of the flowers, sunsets and storm clouds I encountered - oh, and let’s not forget about the birds! It turned out to be one of the best gifts ever as I discovered a passion for capturing nature's beauty through landscape, wildlife and night sky photography......

My love for photography developed at a young age, under a big sky.I grew up near Souris, Manitoba, where I spent hours watching sunsets over gently rolling fields in the summertime.

Have you seen a scene, a landscape, cityscape or just amazing colours and thought, “wouldn’t that make a great picture”? I look at life in this manner. I visualize how scenes would look as a picture on a wall.The challenge for me is that what I see doesn’t necessarily turn out when I photograph that scene. There are many instances where I say, “That wasn’t what I saw”. I do enjoy the challenge though and see photography, like golf, as never to be conquered; but spending a lifetime.....
