I live in the upstate region of New York and have a passion for just about anything photographic.

At the moment I shoot with Canon equipment.

Fresh out of school I spent five years working in a microfilm lab.

Eight years of my life were spent persuing education to become a certified Journeyman Machinist and then Tool-Maker.

I worked ten years in the computer numeric controlled manufacturing field with a local company.

Any free time I had was allocated to photography.

Shooting slide film was the start of my photographic journey and I have since watched photography morph into the wonderful art form that it is today.

I am on a continuous quest for information and welcome any and all advice.

I might not follow it, but I certainly welcome it.
