About Me

I am an amateur photographer who enjoys capturing interesting subjects. I guess I focus (pun intended) mainly on landscape photography but will shoot just about anything if the opportunity arises.

For a number of years I snowbird traveled to Tucson during winter and belonged to Desert Trails Photography club. Currently I am a member of the Iredell Photography Club, Charlotte Camera Club and have exibited in the Mooresville Arts Photography competition.

Photography Experience

I am a self-taught photographer whose passion for the lens began in childhood, surrounded by cameras at home and occasionally having photographers come to our home to take photos of us kids. My journey truly took flight in 1974 during a three-month family vacation in Europe. On route to Europe, during a stopover in Singapore, my parents surprised me with a Minolta S7 film camera—a gift that allowed me to document an incredible array of inspiring sights. From the historic castles and landmarks of England, France, and Germany to the epic mountain ranges of Austria, Switzerland, Italy and Poland. That formative trip ignited a lifelong devotion to the craft.

My extensive global travels have since provided a wealth of unique photographic opportunities, though I am most at home capturing the natural world through landscape photography. I'm always open to any type of photography, if the opportunity presents.

One photographer I admire is Ansel Adams, his obsession with light and getting that perfect composition.

My current camera gear includes a Sony A7iv, camera, 20mm F1.8 Prime lens, 24-105 F4 Zoom lens and a 100-400 F5.6-6.3 Zoom lens. I also own a DJI Mavic Mini drone for the occasional different perspective shots.

I don't have any formal training in photography but consume a lot of You Tube instructional videos & tutorials.
