Photography has been a passion of mine for nearly 3+ decades. Like most people, I started taking pictures of my vacations and of my family, with my very first camera, a Fuji XT605.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I definitely caught the photography bug and my interests branched out from family vacations to nature photography, such as landscapes, birds, and flowers; travel photography with the goal of capturing the culture of my destinations; and urban landscapes\u2026 street, people, and decay.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since I started with film, I was compelled to learn every aspect of development and at one point had built my own darkroom so that I could process my images. I have, like many, converted to the digital format. For my nature photography, I am a purist\u2026 and use post-processing software at a minimum. For all other subject matters, digital photography allows such a limitless freedom of expression. Each image can be manipulated in multiple ways to express a desired mood or state of mind. Although I don\u2019t have my original camera, I do have a collection of antique cameras and often shoot\u00a0film\u00a0which I process at home and then transfer to a digital image.<\/span><\/p>\n

In college, I studied and obtained a degree in graphic arts. These studies aided me in developing perspective and have definitely impacted how I compose my images. I hope you enjoy my galleries, as these are a true expression of how I see our world.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have teamed up with Road Runner Photography Tours. Please visit\u00a0<\/span>roadrunnerphotographytours.com\/<\/span><\/a>\u00a0for further information on upcoming tours.<\/span><\/p>\n
