Photography is my passion and number one hobby. I strive to improve with each shot and constantly read about new and old gear and for tips and ideas. My preferred targets are pets, wildlife and landscapes, but I'm always open to new experiences. I am strictly an ambient light shooter, since I prefer the natural feel and mood this creates. Eventually I'll break down and buy a flash.....unless another lens jumps out and makes me buy it first!

 

I'm available for local events if you happen to like my shooting style. Thanks again for viewing.
