Pamela Smith
I moved to Florida for college in 1983 and never left! After 26 years as an air traffic controller at Miami Center I retired in 2019. In January 2021 I came out of retirement and joined the pixels2Pages team. My grandfather gave me my first camera and I have not stopped taking photos since that day. In fact, I purchased my latest cell phone based on the camera not the phone! I have many passions including photography, travel, scrapbooking, Panthers hockey, and aviation.
