I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and am retired after working as an accountant and financial analyst in the healthcare industry in this region. Now I am enjoying taking photographs, photography classes, and traveling around the San Francisco Bay Area on day trips to take photographs.

I joined the Contra Costa Camera Club in Pleasant Hill, CA and enjoy the exchange of ideas and competition among the members.

The Napa and Sonoma wine country is an hours drive from my home and provides many photo opportunities.
