I am currently living in Newark, DE USA (pronounced New. Ark. a 2 syllable word here in Delaware) since 2005. I was born in nearby Elkton, MD on November 13, 1956, but lived mostly in nearby North East, MD. I have also lived in Jefferson, NC for 4 years, Mogadore, Ohio and St. Pete, FL for several months each.

My hobby in Photography first began in 1979. I've either owned or used Konica, Nikon, Canon, Hasselblad, and Mamiya, film cameras prior to going digital in 2001, and owning Fujifilm, Olympus, Lumix, and Nikon digital cameras since. With the exception of shooting 35mm Kodachrome and medium format 120 film on borrowed Mamiya 6 cameras, I do not miss being at the total mercy of photo labs for prints since going digital in 2001.
