I'm a retired music educator (band, orchestra, instrumental lessons, music history, music theory) and taught at Lewiston-Porter High School in Youngstown, NY. After retiring, my wife and I moved to North Ridgeville, OH (near Cleveland) where I enjoy pursuing my photography hobby. My interest in photography started after purchasing my first digital camera (Sony Cybershot) in the early '80's. Later, I purchased a Panazonic FZ20 really got me hooked with it's very good zoom ability as well as close-up capabilities. From there, I invested in the Olympus 4/3 system with an E-520 body and several Olympus lenses. Then, I moved on to the micro 4/3 system and as of December 2020, I am using the following camera bodies and lenses:

Olympus E M5 Mark II

Olympus E M10 Mark II

M.Zuiko ED 12-40mm f/2.8 Pro

M.Zuiko ED 40-150 f/2.8 Pro

Olympus MC-20 Teleconverter

M. Zuiko ED 17mm f/1.8

M. Zuiko ED 45mm f/8

M. Zuiko ED30mm f/3.5 macro

M. Zuiko ED 60mm f/2.8

My main photographic interests are travel photography and nature photography. And of course, I like to take pictures of the family...…when they will allow me to do so!

Thank you for taking time to look at my photos and I am always interested in hearing comments and/or constructive critiques or suggestions.
