As a professional writer and editor, Martha has been involved with making decisions on the use of photographic images during the course of her career. She began taking serious photographs of her own when a friend gave her a single lens reflex film camera. Her travels in the United States, Canada, Europe, South America, and Antarctica inspired her many images of the lands and their people, both in portrait and landscape.

The jump into creative photography came as she observed sunlight shining on flowers on her kitchen windowsill. Some of the light was colored by passing through vases on the shelf. This led to Weintraub's series of abstract flower pictures.

When she took up digital photography, she found her medium. Instead of waiting days to see her results, she could view them instantly. But it was the computer that enabled her to express her inner vision through combining and layering photographs.

She studied composition and camera technique with David Wurtzel, color and composition with Nancy Ori, and digital photography with Richard Wright. It was Wright who encouraged her to cater to her inner landscape.
