My initial career started out in Biology as a research assistant. When computers began to appear in industry I switched to programming, systems analysis and design, networks and auditing for aerospace companies. During that time I lived in the Los Angeles area. In 1989, I move to Florida, opened a real estate office and semi-retired. Taking advantage of my unstructured schedule I was able to travel more extensively eventually covering all seven continents. The combination of my travel experiences in remote destinations and the studies of the nature that surrounds me in Florida are reflected in the varying subject matter of my work - people, flora, fauna, architecture and scenery. For several years my pictures were slides taken more to provide a record of where I had been and what I had seen. Then about five years ago I began taking photography more seriously. Three years ago I changed to digital (Canon). Over the last year and one-half Adobe Elements has captivated me. I learn more every week. Perhaps in the future I will move to more sophisticated software.
