I was a US Navy Photographer from 1972-1976 at NASP Pensacola FL and on the USS Independence CV-62. I started taking pictures as a kid with a Kodak Instamatic and then when entering the Navy bought a Pentax Spotmatic that I used until 1980 when I got a Nikon F3HP. I went digital and switched to Canon with the Rebel. I am totally Canon now mostly using the Canon R5 mk II R6 mk II and the R7. I specialize in Astrophotography and Solar Imaging and bird photography but enjoy all types of photography.
