I used to be a newspaperman with the Springfield Republican in Springfield Mass.

A word guy by trade and by training, a few years ago my employer handed me a camera and said 'guess what?'

So, I became a photojournalist although I always used that term very scarcely and quite reluctantly. Save for one elective photography course many, many years ago, I have no formal training in photography, and, although people have said very kind words about my photo composition, in that regard, I am very much self-taught.

Also I became an FAA Chapter 107 certified drone pilot a few years back and and shoot lots of aerials.
