I got my first SLR camera in 1973 and twice have been paid as a wedding photographer and once as an archaeological field photographer. Since then (1976) most of my photography has been concentrated on wildlife and landscapes. I now live in western Washington State. I also lived for 25 years in western Nevada, 50 miles east of Lake Tahoe. I am a Nikon person since many of my lenses were purchased in the 1980s and still work with my newer camera.
