She champions photo-art book design. “At first I really didn’t know what it was all about, but I loved looking through the viewfinder,” Frances recalled. “I discovered that the camera wasn’t a barrier, it just happened to start conversations. I pointed it at people and it became an in.”
“There is never a time when you interact with Sara when you are not fascinated by what she is doing,” Walberg said. “She is just expressive, and entertaining and engaging.

“I use to develop film” in a darkroom with liquid chemicals, Frances recalled. “It was a disaster, I had allergies, I would get nasty red hives. I was very glad to move into the computerized world, although it wasn’t easy. This is what’s so exciting, that there is always something new. I’m a pixel surgeon now.”
