I have been photographing since a young child with my father’s old Pentax camera with the throw away flash bulbs. Felt like I had a satellite dish. I played with B&W and color slides during my college years. Developed B&W in my closet and it was a lot of fun, although I will never be an Ansel Adams. Life has been busy and this hobby sometimes gets put by the wayside. I enjoy trying to be creative and look forward to seeing if a photo actually comes out. The best part of photography is getting out and being with people and seeing places. I also used to be a periscope photographer when I was a Navy Nuke on the submarine the USS Hyman G. Rickover SSN-709. The pictures never turned out well, but it proved we were following the Russians. I hope you enjoy viewing my photos as much as I enjoyed taking them.
