Curiosity and a love of nature have always inspired my photography. I love exploring new locations and genres, and photography allows me to recall my adventures - the beauty of a hummingbird captured in flight, a raccoon climbing a tree, the delight in seeing a butterfly, a bug close up, a flower, a leaf; marveling at the vastness of the ocean and the waves, the magnificent dunes, and fall colors. Recently, I have enjoyed photographing architecture, both inside and outside buildings. I am a lifelong Nikon camera user, from my early film days to my recent acquisition of a mirrorless camera. Currently, I am using two Nikon D500 DSLRs and a Nikon Z50 mirrorless camera, which has been converted to a 590nm infrared camera. I primarily use Nikon lenses, from a wide-angle 10mm to a 500mm telephoto, depending on the subject being photographed.
