About

Welcome to my photography site.

I am an amateur photographer.

I guess my inclination is towards abstract photography.   I always wonder if anyone sees a scene the same way I do.  So, I display what I saw at that time.

I strive to render the image as I remember it.  I assume therein lies my brush!  

I love looking at life thru a lens.  Photography has opened my eyes to the beauty that surrounds me daily.

Now  I look at everything !

One of the driving forces behind my photography is the shear enjoyment  of being able to “tweak” those images once downloaded.

 I develope my workflow thru the use of Bridge/Photoshop.  I use ACR (Adobe Camera Raw)  as my main editing tool, my  “digital darkroom”  I use PS  (CS5) Plug – Ins include NIK Software Suite  Topaz (Mainly ‘Adjust 5).

Occasionally Lightroom 4

I use the following Equipment:

Camera:  Canon 50D (What I have on hand most of the time)

7D—–5D markII ( for the fine work)

Lens: EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM         EF70-200mm f/4L IS USM       EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM     EF-S18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS           Tokina AT-X 124 PRO DX 12-24mm

I hope you enjoy my interpretation of life around me.
