I've been interested in photography since I was young. My first camera was an old box type - a hand-me-down from my aunt. It had a crack in the front so all the pictures had a light streak down the center. Next came a Kodak Instamatic with drop in film cartridge (and color film to boot). In high school I experimented with my Dad's Kodak Retina. I was hooked for sure. My first SLR was a Pentax K1000. I have 2 digitals - a Canon SD550 and the latest member of the family - a Canon EOS XSi.

Mostly I take nature and wildlife shots. Sunrises and sunsets are different every day. The world is a beautiful place and am always looking for an interesting shot. I prefer my "people" pictures to be candids rather than posed.

 

I am fascinated by penguins, lighthouses, and the ocean.

 

My photos are just as they were taken other than a little cropping.

 

January 2012 - Decided I should update my profile a bit. I've been on Flickr for a few years now and I've learned so much about taking and composing photos. I've have some wonderful contacts that I count as friends even though we've never actually met. Recently decided to include one of my many "stuffed" friends in my photo adventures. It challenged my skills and i found it to be grand fun as well. Also discovered there a lot of other Flickr folks doing the same.
