I am a recently retired pediatric endocrinologist and academic health care administrator and I currently live in South Haven, Michigan. I spent most of my life and professional career in Ann Arbor, MIchigan. Photography and drawing have been lifelong interests, but retirement has given me the opportunity to devote much of my time to travel, photography, and occasional paintings and gourd sculptures. All of my photographs are taken with Canon cameras: EOS 50D, EOS 6D, or Powershot G-12. I shoot in RAW format and develop the photos in Adobe Lightroom.
I hope that you enjoy viewing my photos and for those of you who make a purchase, Thank You.
