I live in a small town in upstate New York near the city of Rochester. My camera and I spend a lot of time outdoors so many of my images are of natural scenes. Sometimes I photograph other things like architecture and machinery - especially during the cold dark winter months.
I have a bachelors degree in chemistry and environmental studies from Butler University in Indianapolis, IN and a masters degree in organic chemistry from SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse, NY. Oddly my day job is programming computers for a medical laboratory.
Family, work and photography take up most of my time, but when I get a chance I like to ride my motorcycle, read books, tour art museums, play sports, build things, and go to the symphony.
After many years of using a film camera, I now use a digital. I miss the tactile experience of film and the smell of the chemicals. On the other hand, I like the flexibility and immediacy that I get with digital - besides the chemicals probably weren't all that good for me or the environment.
