i started taking photos, both stills and what was then called "movies" when I was about 11 years old. I now have a 50+ year accumulation of photographs, films, and photo equipment, which I try to use as much as possible. I like to think that my photographic skills have improved over the years, just as equipment overall has likewise improved. I enjoy traveling around and taking landscapes as well as pictures of my family, friends, and pets. I hope you enjoy looking at my pictures, a few of which I have put onto flickr.
