    Biography: I got back into photography when I purchased my first Digicam, in September 2001. I have 3 kids, so many of my pics up to now have been of my family and our outings. It's nice to have a weekly challenge to give me something new to shoot every week.

    In the time I have spent on this site, and there have been many hours I assure you, I think I have become a better photographer. I have learned to keep my eyes open to what surrounds me, and look for the special elements of everyday objects.

    Please visit My Prints. Here are some of my favorites:
