About Sharon Buschbeck
Sharon Buschbeck, a recently retired elementary teacher, first fell in love with photography in her twenties, using her dad’s old Minolta and shooting on 35mm film. One of her earliest adventures in photography was a trip to Western Canada, where she eagerly captured the dramatic landscapes and vibrant scenery. When she returned home, she vividly remembers the excitement—and the challenge—of developing nearly 20 rolls of film.
Life eventually pulled her in other directions, and for many years the camera sat quietly aside. However, in her forties, Sharon rediscovered her passion for photography. What began again as an interest in landscapes soon shifted when a friend introduced her to wildlife photography.
As her love for photography grew into a true passion once again, Sharon began to expand her focus beyond wildlife. She has recently been experimenting with new and challenging subjects such as the Aurora Borealis and astrophotography. These pursuits allow her to combine her love of learning with her creative eye, always pushing herself to grow in both technique and artistic expression.
For Sharon, photography is not only an art form but also a versatile hobby that she enjoys both in solitude and in the company of friends. She is especially drawn to the landscapes of northern and near-northern Ontario, with special places like Algonquin Park and the rugged shores of Lake Superior holding a deep connection in her heart.
