I'm an advanced amateur DSLR landscape and UW photographer. I have excellent digital darkroom skills using Lightroom and Photoshop. I do print and hang my work but most often share on-line for constructive critique and fun.

I have a background in the film and 'wet' darkroom technologies from when I managed retail camera stores in California and Nevada, and was a military photographer / photo laboratory technician in the U.S. Army before that.

Besides photography I play some blues and pop acoustic guitar -- 'advanced beginner' level. I also enjoy listening to recorded and live music.

Outdoor activities include photography hikes, SCUBA diving in the Caribbean (Little Cayman, Bonaire) and locally in Monterey/Carmel (California) and flying as a Private Pilot.

I work in the High Technology Marketing field and enjoy food and wine with friends.
