I am 90 years old (2022), a graduate of Texas A&M, served in the US Marine Corps and retired from a career as a Civil Engineer with several companies in the petrochemical industry mostly in Houston, TX.

I have been interested in photography since the early 1950s starting with a Kodak Brownie 127 thru Argus C3, Canon AE-1. A-1, F-1 to current 7D. Initially I mostly photographed family, friends and landscapes. My Interest in aviation photography started about 1971 and still continues, but since my return to the Houston area in 2017, my primary photography is boats, ships and things maritime.

My fiickr collection includes both aviation and maritime photos with the majority aviation. Photography gives me the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, meet people and solve the challenges to, hopefully, get good photos. My photos are primarily for my on pleasure, but I others enjoy some of them - great
