I didn't start out to be an artist. My education and experience has been as a civil engineer. Photography has been my passion. I got my first camera when I was about 12 and have never stopped taking photographs. I've gotten into the habit of carrying a camera, wherever I go. When something catches my eye, I photograph it. I've discovered I have a good eye and a great imagination. My goal is to take photo's that folks look at and think "Wow, I've never seen this before". I photograph what I see and it took me years to realize that most folks didn't see what I see. The photos are representative of different photographic interests of mine. I favor nature and the outdoors of Northern California. I live in Northern California and I'm always looking for a new road or area to explore. The abstracts are the product of my mind expanding on what my eye saw.
