Profile
I love to roam free with my camera, especially my 4×5 view camera. My favorite locations are the Alabama Hills, Bishop, Mono Lake, Bristlecone Pine Forest, Death Valley, Mammoth Lakes, and of course, my own backyard. Nature is where I find inspiration, and I especially like sharing my favorite places with others.

2 for 99
Two for ninety-nine, that was the deal. Linda, my wife, enthusiastically grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to the scuba poster.
