In the spring of 2008 knowing that I wanted to travel in my approaching retirement, I purchased an entry level DSLR to archive those travels, enrolled in a few intro to photography classes at a nearby community college, and plunged headlong into the world of digital photography. Little did I know that what had begun merely as an adjunct to enjoying my travels would soon became the focal point as to the when and where of those adventures and even more so....my daily life.  A landscape/wildlife photographer at heart but do enjoy other outlets for my lens especially people at play.
