My Bio On my way into a summer in Honduras in 1962, I bought a Kodak 35mm at the local camera store. A very basic camera, it helped me learn the basics. Six years later I received a Nikkormat SLR for Christmas and really started exploring photography. Extensive B&W darkroom work, experimentation with lighting, dozens of rolls of slide film on every trip. In the late 70's I switched to an Olympus camera, both for the smaller size and in hopes of a more reliable light meter. In the early 1980's I switched again, to a Pentax ME-Super, and I have owned and used a wide variety of Pentax cameras every since, currently using a Pentax K10D.
In my photography, I have a few themes that reoccur regularly. I enjoy candid shots of people, close-ups of birds and flowers, and anything with an interesting texture, such as sunlight on a flowing brook. When traveling, I alternate between the broad shots to capture the essence of the place, and close-ups of details that others might miss. I hope you enjoy!
