I am a self-taught photographer who specializes in travel, landscape and nature photography. Photography began as a hobby in the 1970's using the 35mm format exclusively with the Nikon F2-S and F2-AS film cameras before switching to digital in the early 2000's. In 2008, I retired to devote full time to my photographic efforts. My body of work is a reflection of my travels over the past fifty years. Currently, I reside in Seattle, Washington, and travel extensively throughout the year to capture nature's art in a photograph.
