I am a retired Department of Defense Senior Executive, who since retiring in 2003, have been renewing my passion for photography. My interest in photography began when I purchased my first SLR while overseas in the Army many years ago. There, I also learned to process my images in a darkroom on post.Now in retirement, my love for Nature’s spectacular beauty has inspired me to renew my interest in photography. Photography provides a window into the beauty I experience and a means to share it with others.
My photographs have been used in corporate offices, conservation and preservation fundraisers, nature-based educational programs and permanent displays, various published and on-line books and publications, and in a permanent exhibit in a Florida museum. In March 2011, 5 of my images were printed on aluminum and hung in a new medical building, two of them 4′ wide and 6′ tall in the main lobby.
I enjoy the technical aspects, challenges and rewards of digital photography and the digital darkroom. I strictly use Nikon camera bodies and lenses, and process my RAW images in Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS6.
