I started with photography quite a while back while in the Army in Japan; the cameras were phenomenal and cheap. I signed up for a correspondence course from NYI of Photography to get me started. Although I went to school as a professional forester, I also took every opportunity to take courses in drawing, painting and other arts. Having recently retired, I thought I would become more involved in my love of the outdoors through photography and digital post processing. Come and share with me all the beauty that is around us.
I have long had a passion for the arts, including pencil, watercolor and oils; my results were mediocre at best since I didn't have the time to devote to getting better. I have also always had a love of photography. With the digital age, combining photography with digital artistic rendering gave me satisfying results. What I have here is a selection of photos and artistically rendered works.
