With greater experience, I became more interested in the details of composition, lighting,
and photographing different subjects. Though initially reluctant to photograph people
because it seemed too intrusive, I now especially enjoy the challenge of capturing an
expression, mood, or perspective in candid portraits.
Bird watching, cultural travel, and photography have taken my wife and me to six
continents and over fifty countries. Exploring the world has also helped me greater
appreciate the diversity and unique beauty of our home in Grapevine, Texas.

When my wife declared she was done photographing our
vacations, I decided to experiment with a manual SLR
attached to my birding scope. Twenty years as a birder had
already taught me to slow down and observe the details of
my surroundings and had led to an interest in nature
overall, so I naturally focused the camera on flowers,
insects, butterflies, and all manner of flora and fauna.
The limitations of using a birding scope as a lens quickly
drove me to purchase a 35 mm SLR camera and multiple
lenses. Before long, I converted to digital SLRs and began
processing and printing my own images.
