I've been in love with photography since taking some rudimentary classes in Jr. High (Burlington, IA). My dad loved photography, too ... but no humans! I probably got the bug from him.

I've had a variety of cameras from old 110s to a Canon T50 in 35mm. My dad gave me his old Sony Mavica (1.7 megapixel, 2x optical zoom and a 3.5" floppy drive) and I became hooked on Digital. I then progressed to a Kodak (5 megapixel with a 10X optical zoom) which was stolen out of my truck ... at church! I then got a little GE point and shoot (7 megapixel with a 3X zoom) to tide me over. Most recently I was able to get my hands on a Canon EOS Rebel XTi DSLR (10.1 megapixel with a Canon EFS 18-55mm zoom).

I love to focus on a theme to shoot and travel to find it. Everything from the rustic and dilapidated in sepia format to desert, seashore, mountainous and forested landscapes to interesting settings downtown Portalnd to my favorite focus, my grandbaby Kira Linn.

My other interests are my wife of almost thirty years, my three sons, who so far live close by, my church, and a new band that I'm trying to get going ( I write lyrics and sing) and hiking in the great outdoors.
