I began taking pictures at age 10 with a Kodak Duaflex IV. Two years later, I left for boarding school with my mom's Leica M2. Through the decades photography remained a mainstay in my life. During my 15 years doing IT work at Stanford University, I volunteered at over 200 events, photographing many well-known and interesting people. Since moving to Tucson, Arizona, in June 2018, my focus has been on landscape & wildlife photography. And with the arrival of my iPhone 14 Pro Max last October, I've been doing a lot more SmartPhone photography, and really enjoying that new spark in my creativity.
