Born & raised in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area! A North Bank Native until I graduated from H.S. and Joined the Army in 1959. My time in the service was served in Texas, Alaska and California. Upon my discharge in 1965, my wife & I settled in Portland OR. where we have been ever since.

My love of pictures goes as far back as I can remember and I've been taking them since I could hold a camera still enough to get the shot. Stills, movie and up to the SLR's, I've learned a lot and had tons of fun doing it. I enjoy sharing my photos, but they are my photo's, so please ask, it's the right thing to do!

Flickr is an active part of my day, it's the first thing I check on the computer and the last thing I check @ night, Yes I'm addicted!
