"This is my camera. There are many like it, but this one is mine. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me my camera is useless. Without my camera, I am useless.

My camera is human, even as I am human, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my camera clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. "

I'm just a guy with a camera, stumbling along and learning as I go. I have a wonderful muse that is my wife Iyla, and three dogs Jada, Kali, and Maggie. Amy Boring is a huge part of why I have such an interest in photography. I can't thank her enough for all of her help. I use a Nikon D70. For all the Devil Dogs out there, Semper Fi.
