Semi-professional and avid hobby photographer documenting life as it happens.

(Note: I use Flickr to archive photographs. As a result, there are often several photos of the same scene or object. I make little, if any, effort to select the best photos. Many of the photographs here are of work related topics, projects, problems, or whatever strikes my fancy.)

Started with film and a darkroom in the late 1960's. Cameras I have owned include a Mercury half-frame 35mm, Canon AE-1P, ELP:H, T-50, T-70, and T-90.

Purchased my first digital camera in June 1999 and by 2000 I had made the transition nearly 100% from film to digital.
