    What I enjoy most about photography is that it forces me to explore new things. Combined with my other life-long hobbies of amateur radio, computers, hiking, biking and travel, photography is a natural connection. After spending 38 years as a teacher/administrator in a rural community outside of Detroit, Michigan, at retirement my wife and I pulled up roots and moved to Florida full-time.
    I take all kinds of images. My region on the gulf coast of Florida offers more opportunity for picture taking than I can take advantage of. There is an abundance of wildlife, beaches, sporting events, festivals and interesting people to be enjoyed twelve months of the year.
     I have always taken pictures, and began my love of photography by developing black and white images in a basement darkroom. My present camera is a Canon 40D and my favorite lenses are the Canon 80-135mm, Sigma 70-200mm and a Tamron 18-200mm. I use Photoshop CS3, Adobe Lightroom, and a homebuilt Windows XP-based PC to manage my images.
    Currently, I am a member of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals and have participated in many local workshops. Additionally, I belong to the Suncoast Camera Club of Clearwater where I am learning how to showcase my images in a competitive forum.
    I plan to spend three months in Colorado this summer learning how to expose passable landscapes and discovering how to be a first-time grandpa. I suspect I'll end up with more baby photos than landscapes.
