Old Photographer - film to digital transition made about 2003. Taught photography for Wilderness Photography Workshops in both Colorado and Wyoming for several years. Currently am marketing images to periodicals and books as well as working on a project that may become part of a promotional effort for Tourism Kansas. Completed the project with Jim Richardson of National Geographic. April 2007 Issue. President of the Great Plains Nature Photographers (see our group).

I also do a few weddings and portraits every year but this is not my concentration. Used to work for a studio in Texas doing this stuff and I enjoyed it then and still do today. I love to shoot video and do a lot of video on trips to produce short, concise programs about the trips. So far I have done videos on Jasper National Park, Kenai Peninsual, Tanzania and the Galapagos as well as other short local trips. I also did a tongue in cheek video called, "Into Thick Air" about climbing Mt. Sunflower, the highest point in Kansas. It is available for viewing on video.google.com/videosearch?q=Into+thick+air&emb=0# if interested.

Somehow I have been fortunate enough to have visited all 50 states. Working on a few countries but I keep repeating some so I will not make a big list here!

I can't carry all this stuff so I make out a game plan for the shooting trip and pack accordingly in one of four camera bags/backpacks.

I also use Apple's fine line of computers and have been for about 2.5 years after giving up on Microsoft.
