I have enjoyed taking photos since childhood. My first consistent attempts at capturing my world view were with a Kodak 110 pocket camera. I have since graduated to digital photography, using a Nikon Coolpix 5700—only a 5.0 mega pixel camera. While photography is neither my primary profession nor livelihood, it is one of my passions. My training has been informal, having learned the art through books, a few seminars, and lots of practice. My subjects of interests run a wide spectrum …from Florida to Montana…and beyond.
I purposely keep my photography simple. I use no added lens filters, nor do I normally use computer software to manipulate the images I have captured. With rare exception, I do not crop the scenes. Instead, I compose each image as you see it...through the camera viewfinder…each image an expression of my artistic vision.
I have endeavored to capture moments in our very special coastal living environment—along the Banana and Indian rivers, and the barrier islands of Florida’s Space Coast. One of my most recent projects was as the primary contributing photographer to 2008 edition of Discover Brevard magazine, an annual publication produced in partnership with Space Coast Business magazine and the Melbourne-Palm Bay Area Chamber of Commerce.
I retired as a Colonel from the U.S. Air Force in Aug 2006, after serving 26 years as a rescue helicopter pilot. I grew up in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida, and entered the service in 1980 after graduating and earning my commission from the U.S. Air Force Academy. I’ve been married 22 years to Ms. Joan (Philipps) of Conrad, Montana. We reside with our two cats in Satellite Beach, Florida... and are parishioners at Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Community, in Indialantic.
Ok, enough about me. Now...go enjoy the galleries!
