Who Am I?

For years, I’ve described myself as a part-time photographer. I retired from the day job iin 2023 and am somewhat part-time in my photographic endeavors. Additionally, I am a professional buisiness/life coach and am studying music.

What do I shoot?

I shoot almost everything and anything I see, but I have a particular fondness for flowers and nature. In the past, macrophotography of flowers was very accessible and fit into my schedule. With my retirement, my camera accompanies me on my various travels and activities.

More recently, i have honed my skills as a people photographer. I enjoy interacting with people and capturing their spirit in an image. In the last couple years, I have shot hundreds of portrait and headshots at conferences and for individuals. Although not always necessary, I can edit and have produced polished images that have appeared on websites and trade publications.

I mainly shoot with Nikon cameras and lenses, although I also have a Fuji XT-5 and XT-4 for some of my outdoor adventures. All of my cameras are digital and mirrorless. The technology has improved enormously over the years. Of course, the most important part of photography is my vision as an artist.
