In love with photography since childhood, a lifelong passion that I cherish every moment of it; still holding on to the very first beloved SLR film camera, Nikon FM and my endearing Nikkor AI-s 50mm f/1.4 lens which I acquired in the 70~ while attending college in the Rocky Mountain state of Western US and used it on film for a quarter of a century.

It is so wonderful to acquaint with many talented photographers and friends on Flickr who share the same passion; and it is my honor and great pleasure to meet some of them in person at photo-walk sessions and at sport events.

Many thanks for visiting my photostream, your comments and faves are very much appreciated.
