ER physician for almost 50 years and worked long and stressful hours, now retired. Live in Northern California north of San Francisco. Have many many interests and passions including

art, biology and all it's minutiae, paleontology, geology, landscaping, mountain and desert and their minutiae,people and their unique qualities and portraits, history, vintage and antique cars (I drive a Morgan) and I love to read

My photography is in the past, with the dinosaurs, in the days of silver and Kodachrome, when I did my own Cibachrome..........now sadly defunct. I have traveled widely in years past as I spent 3 and 1//2 years in East Africa as physician volunteer in the late 1970s and my oldest son was born in Nairobi Kenya. And I love really good photography, both black and white and color, both realistic and abstract, and especially natural history in macro, and Vintage Cars (rolling art). Thank God for Digital!!, though still have avoided (not a techie) the long learning curve of PhotoShop, so am left with whatever can be done with the sliders on iPhoto.
