Chasing Focus

Welcome to my photographic journey!
I’ve loved photography for over 50 years. I bought my very first camera—a 110 film camera from K-mart—before I was 10 years old.
I was a photojournalist in the Navy. Afterward, I worked in a custom photo lab, printing enlargements by hand. Photography was my passion, but life took me in other directions, and I stepped away from the camera.
Now, I’ve come full circle. With a used Nikon D7100, an 18–105mm lens, and a 105mm micro lens, I’ve rediscovered the art I’ve always loved—this time with a growing interest in macro photography.
This channel is my place to share that journey. I’ll be posting my photos, exploring new techniques, and learning as I go. My goal isn’t perfection—it’s growth. I welcome your thoughts, feedback, and constructive critique to help me become a better photographer.
If you love photography, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, I’d love for you to join me on this path. Let’s learn, share, and improve—together.
