I am a birder who likes taking photos. Based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, I've traveled extensively in the last 20 years and have photographed over 3000 species of birds. As time permits, I'll gradually load some photos from various trips. I use Olympus gear (love the compactness and lightweight) and process my photos with Adobe and Topaz software. I am not a purist and will often adjust the background to make the photos more pleasing to my eye.
