Huge supporter of our US Military Troops, Blue Star Families, and our Gold Star Families. I am a former Police 9-1-1 Dispatcher and Shutter Bug ! I am a freelance photographer and freelance data researcher specializing in money tracking through data models to track RICO money trails and corporate corruption. Currently officially retired. I still do some freelance research projects, if RICO or banking merger related for special projects.

I love to travel, especially RVing, I own two RVs. A small 19ft Airstream used for my photography work and a 32ft that is my home-away-from home. Being among nature, wildlife, fishing,motorcycling, overnight tent camping in the great outdoors and photography is what renews my spirit and fills my heart I enjoy all kinds of still photography. Food photography, toys, boats, old structures, landscapes, local events, U.S. Military Events, local lakes, oceans, sunrises, sunsets, and the vacation postcard-like things are what I enjoy capturing most. Among all these types of photography Black/White photography is my truest love and has been since college days. Like many of us on Flickr, I own several DSLRs. I shoot with a Nikon D2XS, a Nikon D2H and a Sony A200. I never get into camera wars over camera brands or camera models, believing that all cameras that capture the image have their place and value to photography. A lesson I learned from my work with Gold Star Families of the U.S. Military. For them any and all photos are treasures, even the so-called bad ones, becuase for them there are no do-overs since their loved one has died in service to our country. This was an important lesson for me and well learned over time. So keep your photos, all of them, and keep them safe...they are true treasures! I am not that big into post processing of my photos, tweeking is fine but not the over the top processing that is common today. I rather like to see the finished image looking like the old 35mm film days when what your viewfinder saw is what your finished photos reflected. I know, must sound very old-school to most of you younger ones but later when you look back and review your photos in your old age you will understand my point from a different viewpoint...

Well, that's me in a Nut Shell...

If you are in my neck-of-the-woods and want to do a photo hook-up, shoot me a Flickr email and maybe we can arrange to shoot together sometime. I love shooting with other Flickr members and learning from them.
