I was born in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. I'm am an avid photographer having started taken pictures with a polaroid instanmatic camera ( Gives you some hint of my age ) . I made the move to digital with a Canon 20D which I still use to this day. my favorite subject is birds and I spend a lot of time afield looking to add to my spieces list. I also am an artist, sculpter, geologist, paleontologist, wood worker, and naturalist. I love to travel and see new places and meet new people.
