I’ve been taking photographs for most of my life, but much more so in the past 7 or so years.  I started out with a Kodak Instamatic camera when I was a teenager, and moved on to a rangefinder, and then an SLR during the film-only era.  But digital photography and post-production tools were game changers.  It’s so much easier to experiment without the expenses of getting rolls of film developed.  My photography really took off after a photo trip to Alaska in the winter of 2017, when I learned about shooting raw files and post-processing with Lightroom and Photoshop. I love the creativity that it gives me to convey what I feel. I’ve taken several photography trips since then — to places like Yellowstone, the Southwest, and most recently Botswana.  Each trip brings new skills, new ways of seeing the world around me, and new friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My photography doesn’t yet have a particular style, and I am not drawn to one particular genre. I see photography as a journey of learning, seeing, and connecting with the world around me. My photos encompass wildlife, landscape, macro, abstract, and everything in between.  The wildlife photos will be primarily of the incredible birds and animals I saw along the Chobe River and in the Okavango Delta last fall, but will also include birds and animals a little closer to home.  I was captivated by the colors and patterns in Alaska and U.S. national parks, and my landscape photos from these places will include both beautiful mountain scenery as well as the abstract patterns I saw around me.  Flowers and insects will make up most of the macro images, many of which were taken in my neighborhood or in local parks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I look forward to continuing this journey!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
