Me in a nutshell: passionate about photography, especially nature subjects.

In my descriptions, I often refer to “my local botanical garden.” which is South Coast Botanic Garden on the Palos Verdes Peninsula in California, USA. If you are in the area, let me know. I love meeting other photographers!

My background is in film photography (including black and white and color darkroom experience), but I had a long period of inactivity until I bought a point-and-shoot digital camera in 2004 and discovered the concept of “shutter lag.” I moved up to my first DSLR (an Olympus E-300) in 2005 and have worked at improving my photography ever since.

My gear:

Olympus E-300
Olympus E-510
Olympus E-5
Zuiko “kit lenses”: 14-45mm & 40-150mm
Zuiko 35mm macro
Zuiko 70-300mm
Zuiko 9-18mm
Zuiko 50mm macro (my favorite)
Zuiko Macro Extension Tube EX-25
Manfrotto tripod
Slik monopod
homemade diffuser/scrim

I also have a long-standing presence on Flickr
