Hi! I’m a photographer of the past 30+ years although I am NOT a “professional”. I started out my career as a musician and painter. Studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, Austria. Then, when I returned to the U.S. I was seduced by the lucrative graphic arts business and did that for 20+ years. This business presented the wonderful opportunity for me to travel around the world. I actually lived in the Middle East (Saudi Arabia) for the better part of a decade. I’ve been a devoted Photoshop user since 1989 (Mac, of course). I think it was version 1.4 (LOL!). I love this program and I am a proud member of the Adobe beta test team.
I love exploring new photographic techniques and dissecting a great photo. I also love helping others with Photoshop and I am a moderator of a popular Photoshop forum. I am also an assistant organizer of a local photography club.
