Hazel enjoys being active in the photographic community and helping others find the joy and satisfaction in taking beautiful images. Hazel likes all types of photography, but tends to focus on nature and the great outdoors. She and her husband, Dave, have made several trips to the American Southwest in the past few years, where she has come to appreciate the stark beauty of the desert. They both also write and photograph for Busch Sport Scene, a New England regional newspaper and website covering auto racing.

Hazel competes in PSA salons where she has received her first stars in CPID and EID competing in digital images. She began using a digital camera in 2003 and has never shot another roll of film! She enjoys both the photography itself as well as the computer editing which blends with her background as a graphic designer.
