Dec. 31—MOSES LAKE — Paula Zanter-Stout said she’s loved photography from the time her mom gave her a camera.
The camera was a Christmas gift when she was in grade school, she said, and she took photographs of her friends, events and experiences, and the scenery around her Michigan home.
“My sister and brother-in-law gave me a 35mm film camera when I graduated high school, because they thought I had potential,” she said.
The camera came with her when she moved to Detroit as a young woman, and later to Moses Lake, where her sister lived. While photography took a backseat to marriage, family and job, the camera was always around.
“It was something that I was really passionate about,” she said. “I didn’t go anywhere without my camera. And I still don’t, now, go anywhere without my camera.”
