About Me as a Photographer

I have been active as a photographer for almost twenty years as a serious hobbyist. I picked up the hobby in graduate school after becoming familiar with a 35 mm SLR (an Olympus OM-1) as part of my dissertation research. I bought my first 35 mm SLR in 1989 and transitioned to transparency films a couple of years later. I bought a digital SLR, a Nikon D70, in 2005, and have more or less transitioned completely to digital photography. In 2010, I moved up to the Nikon D300S.

My photographic interests are primarily outdoor photography of all types and aviation photography.
