Bio

I bought my first camera about 30 years ago. I played with it for about four years and then couldn't afford the film so I put it down. So now about a quarter century later (and with regular employment) I bought a digital camera in October of 2004 and have been learning ever since.

I grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I studied the viola from the time I was about 5 years old until I was 18 when I decided that I wanted to be a Wildlife Biologist. I actually was able to work as a biologist for several years, but was never able to really make a living at it.

Now I work in the IT field and use photography as a stress release and a outlet for my artistic tendencies. Not saying what I do is art ....
