I have several hobbies including Photography, Music, Art, and what ever my kids are doing. I have always loved taking pictures. I started out with an old instamatic camera shooting 126 and 110 film. I then picked up a Nikon F1 about 25 years ago and started taking more pictures. I had only shot film until a few years ago when I picked up a small Kodak digital camera. I was happy with the quality, but processing time between pictures was very slow, so I upgraded to a Cannon that was much better. Several years ago I invested in a Nikon D-50 and that is what I have used until recently. I just purchased a D-3100, and love it so far.

Although I love taking pictures of all subjects, my current emphisis is on Dance photography. My main subject is my daughter Maura.

FYI, if you have no photos of your own, or have what I consider a sketchy photostream/faves/groups/contacts, I will block you. I Photograph Dance and Ballet as an art form. Many of my subjects are minors or my daughter so don't even go there, I'm not here for that.

Partial lyrics from Jackson Browne song Fountain of Sorrow

Looking through some photographs I found inside a drawer

I was taken by a photograph of you

There were one or two I know that you would have liked a little more

But they didn't show your spirit quite as true

You were turning 'round to see who was behind you

And I took your childish laughter by surprise

And at the moment that my camera happened to find you

There was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes
