MY STORY

Biography

I have been a avid photographer for most of my life ... and have photographed everything from architecture, events of all types, weddings, landscapes, ballroom dance competitions and portraits, both personal and business.  One of my specialties is fashion shows, model shoots and studio sessions.

My first camera was a  Sabre 620, a simple plastic box camera for 620 film. It was manufactured from 1956-72 ... I received mine as a birthday present from my parents while in elementary school.  I still have it to this day in my camera collection, along with every camera I have owned.

I am a member of the Nikon Professional Services, Photographic Society of America and Nikonians.  Many of my images have appeared in competitions, magazines and photographic websites.

Additionally, I am a licensed UAV (Drone) Pilot, and a very involved member of the Pikes Peak Cameras Club, where I lead the "Fundamentals Class" before each monthly meeting.
