I was a teen when I first picked up a camera. There were times when I didn't pursue the art as much as I do today. The advance of the digital age has been a great boon, the computer my darkroom.
I spend most of my time specializing in wildlife, especially birding. Wonderful maddening creatures, they push my skills to the limits and help me improve my over all techniques.
Some will buy sports cars during their midlife crisis, I got a minivan.
