Amateur photographer, experienced curmudgeon. I shoot almost anything, just love taking photos and playing around with them in my digital darkroom. Since mid 2009 I've been shooting with a Canon EOS 50D. I have several lenses, but use my Tokina 11-16mm about 90% of the time. I use Photoshop Elements 7.0 (more than enough for me), Photomatix Pro for HDR, and Noise Ninja to process my photos.

Although I hope people enjoy my photos, please understand that they are copyrighted. Please do not use my photos in any manner without first asking permission. I don't have any illusions about becoming rich and / or famous with my photography, as it is a hobby I do for enjoyment. But due to inappropriate use of my photos by a few, I would ask for your understanding on this request.

Professionally I am a geographer, working in geographic information systems (GIS) in public transit. I've always been interested in the relationship between people and place, and I've been fortunate to have lived and worked in many states and a few different countries.

Married twice, father twice. Experience is a good teacher, although the lessons can be painful.
