Biography: My imagination was captured by photography and astronomy at an early age when I got my first telescope and borrowed my grandfather's SLR camera. Soon after, I setup a darkroom in my bedroom and was loading my own film cartridges. My profession went in another direction with degrees in Electrical Engineering and a career in wireless technologies. Through much of my life, I have melded photography with many of my other interests: astronomy, SCUBA diving, backpacking and travel. I love the beauty and imagery of the natural world and enjoy capturing it and sharing it with others. Thank...
