BIOGRAPHY
- Continued
Up
to three years
ago, I used film and converted my slides
into prints with slide scanner. While in
Vietnam on a photographic vacation, I was
shooting the sunrise from the balcony of
my hotel in Bak La, when a Canadian photographer
joined me using his digital camera. I was
enthralled at the images he had and the
results that were instantly available. After
returning from the trip, I purchased my
first digital camera a Canon 1 D. Recently,
I upgraded to the Canon 1DS and I have sold
all my film cameras.
With
my semiretirement, I’ve the opportunity
to travel quite a bit more. My travels always
involve photography and I carry most of
my equipment in my camera bag. The tripod
became part of my anatomy. I have been to
many countries and most recently, to Japan
and China. Both trips were visually exciting
and physically grueling especially the one
to China. My regret about China is that
the cities are very polluted, ruins the
light, and the sunrise and sunsets become
very muted through the smog. But, on occasional
clear days the light is fantastic.
My
areas of interest are those of people, events,
landscapes and nature. People pictures are
usually candid and I try to capture the
moment on my images. I love sports especially
tennis where I can use my camera to capture
the action. Landscapes are always a pleasure
to shoot especially in the very early morning
and evening. The colors at the beginning
and end of the day at times worth an applause
and an”Oh my!!” from me. My
nature images are a study in the behavior
of animals and birds. One of the best places
I’ve had the pleasure to visit is
the Bosque Del Apache in New Mexico. During
the migration of the birds this area is
just awesome. Thousands of snow geese and
sandhill cranes congregate here and it is
extraordinary to watch how these birds start
and finish their days.
The
purpose of developing this web site is to
display the photos I have taken over the
years, and to share them with my friends
and family.
