I was drawn to photography by the images in classic magazines such as National Geographic and Life. The stories those images conveyed were very informative and powerful. After college, I took a continuing education course in basic photography and purchased a camera. Unfortunately, a few years into a career in the tech industry, I gave up photography due to time constraints. 25 years later I moved from Texas to Jackson Hole, and the photography bug bit again. I enjoy taking black and white and wildlife, especially birds. In addition, I also enjoy finding the unusual or abstract texture and shapes in both natural and man-made objects.
