I've been making photos for about 30 years now.

 

Burned a lot of film in the good/bad old days! Now I'm mostly tickling pixels with light. But I still like to get out some of the veterans and load up a roll of Velvia or B&W film occasionally! Even still have color and B&W "fume rooms", although they're packed away in storage at the moment.

 

I'd have a hard time singling out any sort of specialty. Over the years I've enjoyed wildlife and nature photography. But, I've done plenty of other types of photography as well: Travel, portraiture, dance, wedding, macro, sports, street, lifestyle, alternative processes and more. You name it, I've probably tried it at one time or another. Still fascinated with most of it, too!

 

Thousands more photos are in my Event Photo Galleries (link below) - mostly equine events right now. You're welcome to browse there, too, if you wish.

 

Cheers!
