I enjoy photography especially night time photography and architecture. I started photographing courthouses back in the late 70s and early 80s with a Pentax spotmatic and a Canon F1. I've digitized these early photos and posted some of them on line. I got away from it for many years then got back into it when I switched to digital in the late 90s. I,ve got Illinois(my home state) and the surrounding ones covered pretty good. I use Google Maps to determine when to photograph.

I also enjoy cycling and get out for a spin whenever I can and have done several week long tours around the midwest.
