First things first... I am, and always will be, an amateur photographer.
There were times I thought about going pro and becoming a "working photographer" but the truth is I enjoy photography because it is something I do on my own schedule, not on a deadline or worrying about paying the bills with my camera or pleasing a client. I just want to enjoy photography at whatever level I might achieve.. that said, there is that whole "talent thing" which more than likely would have excluded me from the profession anyway. So, I am very happy to be an amatuer photographer.
My first camera was given to me as a present on the occasion of my 10th birthday in 1959. It was a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye. I've been through a lot of cameras and film since then. Today I am all digital and after the passing of all those years I still love seeing the world through a camera lens.
The photographs you will find here are not award winners and frankly, you may wonder why I included some of them at all. The answer is: I like them and that's really all that matters. I shoot for me and if others enjoy what I produce with my camera, well, that's the icing on the cake.

My website is a work in progress. I will always be adding more photos.
Thanks for stopping by to see my photography.
