Retired Software Engineering Manager by trade. Photographer by Passion. Now living in Paris, France and looking forward to connecting with the creative community here so I can make a few more images in the styles I like.

Life is very strange and wonderful... and if you sit still and quietly, you get to watch amazing things unfold all around you... and if you pack up and move to a very interesting place... it unfolds a little more quickly... and a little more interestingly...

My work consists of chasing several themes. My most published work includes the Alternative History, Noir Victorian Gothic, Steampunk theme. The work traditional photographers know me for is the continuing series on steam locomotives and early diesel electric trains. A third theme that I am intent on pursuing is photographing birds.

My work has been shown in various galleries around the West, as well as being published in several magazines, including SilverShotz (January 2011), Photolife magazine, and LensWork Extended #78 and will soon be included in a new book on Steampunk arts in the summer of 2012.
