I started in photography as a hobby in 1981 and it quickly grew into a full time passion, well every chance I get! I enjoy snapping away at anything that gets in front of my lens. Landscapes, nature and people are my three favorite subjects to shoot. Initially, my goal was just to "record" the subject, but with time I began to be more and more interested in the artistic side of photography, and I tried to learn how to improve the composition and the aesthetics to create pleasing images. I am completely self-taught and still learning all the time.
I photograph exclusively with Canon Digital SLR 21.1 megapixel cameras and Canon lens. I recently started Close-Up/Macro Photography, this is truely the artistic side of photography!
Computer Aided Graphic Design and Web Development are also passions of mine. I'm a long time member of the, International Webmasters Association and the HTML Writers Guild. I am also a standing member of NAPP, (National Association of Photoshop Professionals). I also hold the ACE certification, (Adobe Certified Expert). You might say that I'm a Photoshop Junky; I just can't get enough of that darn program! I've been using it since version 2.5 and not a day goes by without working with it. To date, I have mastered Photoshop and Illustrator by 98%, and the other 2%, well... maybe someday, if I live that long!
