I have enjoyed photography my entire life. I began to explore and study photography five years ago and recently retired from the fire service after over thirty years of service.

While I have studied and performed many different types of photography, my journey has led me to focus on wildlife and landscape photography with a special interest in photographing birds, all birds, although photographing raptors would be my first choice. This type of photography allows me to be outdoors and enjoy the openness and feeling of not being confined and away from people which is big part of why I enjoy it. Bird photography has taught me patience which can be challenging and rewarding. When I am outdoors photographing birds, animals or landscapes, I find that it is very peaceful. That peaceful environment is what allows me to focus on the goals of wildlife photography. The goal and challenge is always to get that perfect shot that shows the details and colors of the subject you are shooting.

Photography for me is all about getting out and photographing and capturing a moment in time, usually first thing in the morning with a hot cup of coffee as the sun is rising!
