I've been interested in photography since I was in my teens, then joined the Navy to go Photo School, that was in '60, and have been a photographer ever since! Personal cameras I started with the Yashica D (120 format) then switched to cameras available to me in the Navy for a few yrs, mainly the Mamiya C33 and later the 330, the Rolleiflex, all 120, and Leica, 35mm! Then in 1971 or 72, I got my own, the Nikon Photomic FTN and have used Nikon ever since! Now I use the Nikon D80, I've changed cameras, not companies tho, my primary camera is now the Nikon D300! The rest is history!

I don't really favor one brand over the other, that's personal choice, cameras are tools, use them to express yourself!

Bokeh is grossly over rated!

My photos are for sale, if you'd like a print or copy, please contact me via flickr mail, we can discuss it there,

otherwise please do not use my images without contacting me!
