I have been interested in photography since grade school. I have applied a lifetime of interest to learning and developing photographic skills, but especially since retiring in 2002.  The improvement in my photographs prompted me to start this web site to share my work with others.  I have been a member of the St.Johns (Michigan) Camera Club for many years and have served on the board several years. I have a great interest in landscape,wildlife and nature photography as well as architecture, still life and some off-beat creative digital works. Having been a lifelong resident of Michigan, much of my work is from Michigan; but I have also completed many other works from trips to other states as well as abroad in England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France, Germany, Austria, and Italy. I currently reside with my wife in East Lansing, Michigan.
