Originally from Southern California, I've been here in Vancouver, Washington since 2001. I'm enjoying retired life and have time to pursue my hobbies vigorously. Music and fishing have been my main interests, however, over the last few years, photography has really consumed me! Sometimes I can combine the fishing and photography and I like to do so in exotic locations such as South America and Africa. Flickr has become a major outlet for me and I enjoy seeing other people's work. There's so many great photographers out there! If I make you a contact, I really like your photos and try to keep up, except when I'm traveling. Thanks for your visit and comments! \------Please
