DSLR Grandmaster of Photography

Many people across this planet actually see colors of various hues more vividly than most people. I happen to be one of those people, so I try to reflect, as closely as I can, exactly what I saw with my eyes when I took a shot. Cameras almost never pick up the colors exactly as seen, so I use adjustments in post-processing like lighting, brightness, darkness, contrast, and the amount of black/white. I avoid the saturation sliders/adjustments since a few of the other adjustments do the trick. I hope this helps you to understand my photography a bit better.

I have enjoyed photography off and on since I was a little kid with my first Kodak Brownie Hawkeye camera. I graduated to 35mm photography in the early '70s, strictly on an amateur basis. Later, I used photography on an almost daily basis in conjunction with my work and got burned out on it. Then Digital came along. Digital photography has renewed the joy I remember having as a kid and intensified my desire to take more strange, beautiful, amusing, or emotional photographs. I enjoy looking at and am inspired by, so many of the photos I see here.

I am based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and am currently focusing on photographing places in New Mexico and surrounding desert areas, especially Native American ruins and places, and desert landscapes. I also take some closeup and macro photos of flowers and other things.
