I was born and raised in Chicago, then lived in Maine and southern California, followed by a 19-year stint in Washington State. Having had enough of moss beneath my fingernails and mold on my then-webbed toes, I left for sunny Longmont, Colorado, where I have happily resided since 2011.
In general, I am an opportunistic photographer, walking through the countryside (by and large, birding) and taking photos as opportunities present themselves, though I do sometimes set out simply in search of bugs (sensu lato).
Many of my earliest Baja photos were not taken using a DSLR, but rather a Panasonic Lumix with 12x optical zoom. The difference in quality is evident, but I doubt that I'll have another opportunity to photograph a Yellow-browed Warbler in Mexico, so those shots will just have to do :o). Subsequently, I used a Nikon D300, and then moved my way along to a Nikon D810, which I currently use. My main lens is a Nikon 200-500 mm, though I also sometimes use a Nikon 105 mm macro.
