PHOTO EQUIPMENT:

Olympus E-510: A good body, similar to Nikon in quality but at an affordable price. I like features like on body image stabilization and a ccd that has very good color processing on board. Live view is handy for night shots like fireworks which I have not mastered yet.

Olympus lenses are edge to edge quality for reasonable prices, they are not just sweet spot lenses

I used to work at Kodak wide format division. I loved seeing the large colorful pictures come off the 60 inch printers. I controlled the color profiles then and it was exciting and very rewarding. But all good things have an end. They closed the wide format division and that life faded into the sunset.

Now I work in a very technical troubleshooting job during the day. I am a integration troubleshooter support person... I work primarily with Indesign at work. I like the challenge of troubleshooting hard issues. It is fun but also very challenging.

At home I love to write, work in digital photoography and digital painting and graphics. I have a very creative side.

I am working on some cool projects of my own device. Can't mention them here but I hope to be finished soon.

I use Photoshop CS3 and Corel Painter for my graphics...

I use a Clinique Waycom tablet to draw and do artwork. I will put up one of my paintings soon

I like to compose Music. I will put the link to my music web site...

I compose from classical to Rock Music.

I use Cakewalk Sonar and Project 5 and Reason to do this. I use a wieghted piano keyboard to enter in the Midi

I use many software synths, Dimension, Rapture, Zebra, Vanguard, Slayer. Each has its own special gifts that I like.
