I've been involved in photography since 1968. I started in high school and went on the work as a photographer in several fields, First as a real estate photographer, then in the US Air Force, Next as a crime lab photographer. I moved on portraits for a time. I stayed involved in photography on a limited basis but stated working in IT for 25 years. I found that digital photography was natural move with experience in both photography and computers. Now that I am retired, I do more landscape and nature work. more
