Photographer since the 1980s. Expert Photo on the web since the 1990s

I live in a small town in Southern California. I have been married for over 30 years, and have two wonderful kids, a grandchild, and a dog.

In high school, I was the yearbook photographer, and really learned great skills including film development, and printing in the darkroom. I carried a camera almost every day in school - something I still do to this day. In the 1990s I discovered large format photography. It was this period in my photography journey that really taught me how to take my time and carefully frame each shot. I still own and use my large format gear, and can still be found under a dark cloth. When I added digital to my workflow in 2003, I found it very easy to create and capture artistic shots because of my skills in the large format film world.
