Thank you for taking the time to view my photography. I enjoy shooting a wide variety of subjects, and I do hope you enjoy my images.
Like many photographers, I began my artistic journey utilizing film more years ago than I care to admit, ultimately evolving into the digital age. I began my love of photography back in the 1960s when I was given a hand me down Kodak Brownie Bullet and later the Kodak Duaflex IV. Then there were the Kodak 110 Trimlight Instamatic days. The 1980s was when I became serious, and switched to 35 mm SLRs, shooting with Olympus OM equipment, with lens ranging from 24 mm to 500 mm. Towards the late 1990s I made the switch from Olympus to Nikon, although when I first tried out digital, I went back to Olympus, briefly. The early 2000s I returned to using Nikon gear, and have been shooting with DSLRs ever since.
I am an active member of the Springfield Photographic Society, the Quaboag Hills Photography Club, the International Freelance Photographers Organization, and the New England Camera Club Counsel. Over the years I had belonged to the Westfield Camera Club, the Ware Camera Club, the Yankee Photographic Society, the Amherst Camera Club, the Valley Photo Center, the Quabbin Photo Group, and ShutterBuds. My work has been published in various media both nationally and abroad, has won many photo contests, and earned numerous awards.
Please check back soon, and often, as I share my passion, my vision with you. You never know what I'll be uploading in the future. Again, thanks for visiting!
