The birth of my son in 1960 got me interested in photography. I bought my first Pentax camera, a Spotmatic, in 1965, while stationed in Denver, Colorado. I have been using Pentax equipment ever since. My 30 year career in the US Air Force gave me the opportunity to travel, and to photograph people and places all over the world. Job pressures and schedules of a second career in the Aerospace Industry, prevented me from doing much photography for a number of years. Retirement and digital has renewed my interest, and I am back into Photography in a big way. I love nature and the creatures with whom we share this beautiful planet.
