I was born and raised in New Mexico. I have since been "adopted" by Arizona, and am proud to call Prescott my home.

My lifelong love of photography has only increased with the digital revolution, but sometimes I miss my old Olympus OM-1n SLR film cameras.

I now use a Nikon Z6 full-frame mirrorless camera, and an Olympus TG-4, in addition to my iPhone XS, with its TWO back cameras (wide angle + telephoto).

In addition to my older Bogen aluminum tripod, I now have an ultra-light and compact tripod, a Benro C-169M8, with carbon fiber legs and a small ball head.
