I have taken enough ordinary photographs to where I have begun looking for the unique and unusual perspective. I continue to refine my craft as much as I can. I bought a Kodak Instamatic camera in the 1960s and have been taking pictures ever since, but only in my retirement have I put an emphasis on taking better photos. Sometimes I succeed.

I volunteer and the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin, Texas. I arrive early, with my camera, in search of photographs before my volunteer shift starts. I sometimes go back afterwards because I have seen something that would make a unique photograph. Something always deserves a second look and being able to get a unique photograph can be a challenge, but one that I get fully involved while doing. I make every attempt to pass on what knowledge I have come to understand. The importance of learning about the natural world cannot be understated.
