I am a big hobbiest and have had many interest. My love for photography started with my telescope when I was in my 20's. I had an 8" f6 and eventually bought and Olympus OM1 camera body with a 55mm f1.4 lense. I could run it piggyback on top of my scopes Clockdrive (which would allow me to run long exposures on dark nights) or I could mount the camera body to my focuser for an equivilent 1200mm f6 lense. I just bought my first DSLR with the Nikon D3200 and am loving it. It is awesome. i have already run some star shots with descent results and am in hot pursuit to upgrade my lenses.

My other interest are ;Rennaisance Faires; , I used to be a Custom Audio Video Designer/Installer for homes, I make custom fishing rods that have been in magazines, I love high performance motorcycles that I used to customize and airbrush, and I also raise Plumerias..I currently have over a 125 plants.

I am anxious to be active on flickr.
