Hot-air balloon pilot and instructor; copywriter/editor, corporate journalist. Too close to 60 years old. Photographer since my teens, started with 6x6 B&W roll film and moved to 35 mm SLRs and from there to digital. Developed my own B&W photos in my personal darkroom for many years. Did much reporter-style photography for corporate publications I edited in the past.

I use Olympus 4/3rd digital SLRs (E500 and E620) and Canon digital compacts (Powershot S70 and G16), lately the G16 for aerial photography during balloon flights.
