Photography has been a hobby since early childhood. I have fond memories of the time spent in the "home studio" and school darkrooms. I've been part of the Digital Photography revolution since 1998. In the near future, I hope to publish to this site most of the photographs that I have taken. The initial focus will be on digital photographs from 1998 to the present. Since the Outdoors, and climbing in particular, are a favorite pastime, the first galleries to appear will be related to this activity. Come back often to see what's new!
