My primary photographic interests are pictorial and landscape photography. These interests are abetted by living in retirement on the banks of the Snake River in the mountains of eastern Idaho, an hour from the Tetons and two from Yellowstone; frequent mostly foreign travel helps my newly developing interest in architectural and related photography.

I have one star in PPD monochrome print competition from a long time ago....1968, two recent stars in EID color and one in monochrome. Such competition helps make up for the lack of any real camera clubs in eastern Idaho, and with that and the comments of this Group, I am beginning to make progress photographically.

I use a Nikon D80 DSLR with a variety of lenses, the most important being an 18-200 VR (stabilized) Nikor. I use an Epson 4490 scanner for digitizing slides and prints, an Epson 2200 printer, and a Dell Optiplex 745 computer with 4 GB of RAM and 1.0 TB of disk space, and a ViewSonic 19-inch LCD monitor. My software includes the full Adobe CS2 suite.
