I have been taking pictures and processing them (in the darkroom and digitally) since I was 11 years old. Recently retired, I have found more time to explore my passion. While I tended to focus initially on nature and landscape photos, especially macro ones, I have more recently broadened my exposures to street photography, people, abstracts, architecture and urban photography. Experimentation drives me to try new techniques and take advantage of some of the more sophisticated functions of my gear.
