I am a lawyer by profession, but my passion (second only to my wife, my children, my grandchildren, and my faith in God) is photography. I switched from 35mm film SLR cameras to digital cameras about 20 years ago, and have had no regrets. My first digital was a Canon G2, and in the summer of 2004 I upgraded to a Canon Digital Rebel XT. Several years later, I purchased a full frame digital SLR, the Canon 5D. Next, I acquired the Canon 1Dm3. Recently I purchased the Canon 5D Mark IV.

I currently shoot with the following lenses:

Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG macro

Canon 100-400L

Canon 17-40 f/4L

Canon 85 f/1.8

Canon 24-105L

Canon 1.4 TC

For flash I use the Canon 580EX Speedlite. My "darkroom" is Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop CS5. As you can tell from my gallery, I have a wide variety of interests when it comes to photography, with an emphasis on bald eagles. I hope you enjoy my pictures, and your comments (including constructive criticism) are most welcome!

I will close by leaving you with the words of Mother Teresa:

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered

Forgive them anyway

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish motives

Be kind anyway

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies

Succeed anyway

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you

Be honest and frank anyway

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight

Build anyway

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous

Be happy anyway

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow

Do good anyway

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough

Give the world the best you have anyway

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God

It never was between you and them anyway

Mother Teresa
