I have been an amatuer photographer since I was 7 when I got my first camera - a Brownie. Over the years I have shot 110, 35 print, 35 slide and now digital. Since moving to digital I have started shooting much more and taking chances now that I have an unlimited supply of film for life.

I have found that my subject interests are fairly eclectic and I just try to take my camera with me whenever I travel or head out for the day. I look forward to continiung to improve my skill and perhaps by the time I retire I will have a portfolio that can supply me with some walking around money.

On a personal level my wife, Phyllis, and I are Salvation Army officers (did my photo give it away?) who currently live and serve in San Diego, CA. We have three sons - Richard (12), Sean (10) and Trevor (6) who give me an excuse to see new places and shoot new subjects.
