I was introduced to photography when I took a high school photo class in 1970. My first camera was a Kodak Brownie. After some success with sports and children photography, I enrolled at Brooks Institute School of Photography, Santa Barbara, CA. I received a Bachelor of Art Degree from Brooks in 1977. My specialty is Industrial/Scientific and Color Technology.

Over the last 35 Years, I have been a industrial photographer for JPL/NASA, Xerox, Loral, Lockheed Martin and BAE Systems. I am presently the "Master of Images"

My favorite photo artists are Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Yousuf Karsh, Arnold Newman, Annie Leibovitz and a newly discovered HDR artists , James Neeley and Trey Ratcliff..

A couple years ago I renewed my enthusiasm in the creative field of photography when I visited "The Wave" in North Coyote Buttes, Arizona. I am currently enhancing my hobby of outdoor photography by learning more about HDR, digital enhancements, Photoshop, Flickr. and other methods to help create pleasing images.
