| I am 45 years old and retired in the Summer of 2000 from a 20 plus year career as a System Engineer in order to pursue a second career as a photographer. I am a lifelong resident of Michigan and currently live in Gaylord. I love Northern Michigan and spending time photographing the abundant nature and scenic opportunities to be found there. | | I have been casually shooting 35mm since 1987, but didn't seriously get into photography until I got my first digital camera in 1998. The instant feedback and ability to control all aspects of image editing were very appealing. | | I like to photograph a wide variety of subjects and feel that almost anything can make a good image if presented in an interesting way. I am drawn most to the graphical elements found all around us. I strive to incorporate and highlight those elements with images containing strong lines and bold colors. | |
