I am a retired science instructor and I am a successful business owner of two businesses. I have been a photographer since 1976 and have taught photography and Photoshop in college. I currently use a Nikon Z9 35mm FX camera and a Nikon D800 DX camera. I enjoy landscape and animal photography the most. When I travel to Florida, I enjoy underwater photography too. I also enjoy astrophotography. I love photogrphing the sun using an H-Alpha filter and a sunspot filter. I also like photographing the heavens with a 17-35mm wide angle lens. I photographed Halley's Comet from Australia in 1986 using a Celestron 5.5" Schmidt Camera and in 1997 I photographed Comet Hale-Bopp with the same camera.
