I am a photographer specializing in images of the natural world, pets and their people, and creative images of things that catch my eye and sense of humor. I have been using photography to capture those small slices of time since my Dad showed me how to use his range-finder camera 1958. While serving with the US Army in Viet-Nam, I met Wayne Brink, who opened my eyes to the world of images and provided grounding in the basics of SLR film photography. My first SLR was a Mamiya Secor 1000dtl with a 50mm f1.4 lens. Yes, I still have it.
