For me, photography has always been a means of self-expression and a method  of relaxation given an  otherwise busy professional life. It  has proven to be the primary medium through which I have explored the world.  My travels  and workshops in National Parks [Denali, Yellowstone, Yosemite, The Tetons, Glacier, The Canadian Rockies, and several countries in Europe and Africa.   I have survived and appreciated the transition from film to the digital age, and, more recently iPhone photography with access to myriad creative apps.  Retirement has enabled me to live full-time in Sherman.  It is impossible to live here without being inspired to photograph its beautiful landscapes, flora, and wildlife every day.
