I'm a Motorcycle, Mountainbike, Snowboard, Dog, and Photography enthusiast.

I was consumed by photography starting around 1980, worked in a custom B&W lab for 10 years. My time and money for photogrphy slowly waned in the mid 90's to pursue other interests (house, Boxer Dogs, racing mntn bikes, snowboarding & motorcycles) but my interest never died.

Shooting videos to capture my athletic endeavors in the mid 2000's revived my photobug. Got my first digital SLR camera January 2011 (Nikon D3100) and joined flickr (had an account earlier for viewing family pics). Learned a LOT in 2 short years. Upgraded my camera in November 2012 to my current set-up:

Nikon 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G

Nikon 24-120 f/4G
