The first time Laurie Rubin looked through the viewfinder of a borrowed camera, she realized "This is what I want my world to look like." Once you look into the world she's seeing, you'll also love the look. Laurie has followed her camera around the world, into the sky (literally), and even into the Smithsonian.
