I started when I was 11 years old with a kodak brownie camera I got via an ad in a Woodie Woodpecker comic book for a few dollars and took color pictures of my summer visit to maine back in the early 1960's. In the 1980's I bought a 35mm film camera that I used and in the 1990s I would scan pictures from that camera and edit them in Photoshop.

I do photography now as a hobby. At age 50, I started back since digital photography had started to take off and bought my first camera, the Canon G5. In 2005, I upgraded to the Canon Rebel XT. Recently I purchased my first SLR lense, the telephoto EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6.

I have used photoshop since version version 3.0 and have been upgrading ever since now using PS3 and Lightroom.
