My love for the outdoors and my commitment to embracing life's richness motivate me to document and share my adventures through various activities such as photography, birdwatching, hiking, and astronomy. My overarching objective is to use my photographic skills to advocate for the significance of safeguarding and conserving natural spaces for the well-being of generations to come. To achieve this, I aim to contribute my time and energy to conservation initiatives, while also utilizing my captured moments to educate and inspire others to play a role in preserving these invaluable environments.
Photography is a unique art form that allows us to freeze time, preserving memories and moments that would otherwise be lost. Individually, my photos capture a specific moment, place or event, but as a collection, they serve as a window into my personal journey and perspective of the world. With a passion for photography dating back to the 1970s, I have had the opportunity to photograph a variety of subjects, from nature and wildlife to people and events. My photographs serve as a visual diary of my experiences, and a way for others to see the world through my lens.
For The Love Of Photography
One of my fondest memories is from when I was 15 and walked into a local newspaper office, inquiring about a job as a photographer. To my surprise, they hired me as a stringer. I was able to gain valuable experience by covering local events and writing articles. This early opportunity allowed me to earn money, receiving $2.50 per image and $0.05 per word for my published work. Since then I have had the opportunity to expand my skills and photograph a wide range of subjects such as weddings, real estate and portraits. However, what I enjoy most now is exploring the world and finding new perspectives through my lens.
Find me on social media! I'll be sharing images and stories from my outdoor adventures such as landscapes, birdwatching fun, hiking stories, astronomy moments. Let's enjoy the beauty of nature together and chat about why it's important to take care of our planet. Follow for a virtual adventure and let's share the excitement of exploring the great outdoors!
