About Me

I’ve been in photography since age 14 when I received a “little black Kodak” camera for my birthday. My specialties are in outdoor and nature photography where conditions might be difficult at best. Such is often the case for my travel, adventure and fishing photography since there’s water everywhere you don’t want it to be, in addition to being under and around the boat or craft you’re in. Ever try keeping a camera dry when you’re IN the water? On two occasions the boat I was shooting from sank. My cameras have been destroyed by shipwrecks, bull sharks, wild boars in the rain forests of Colombia and chewed up by army ants in the Amazon. We won’t talk about the molten lava, falling hot rocks, rain forest environments and torrential rains. Currently, I ‘m a University language professor in Cali, Colombia. Originally my home is in the Pennsylvania Dutch region of the U.S.

My Experience

As a freelance photographer and writer, I prefer digital photography to illustrate my travel, adventure, and educational-theme articles and blog posts, I sometimes alternate with a 35mm SLR, then transfer the images to digital format. I frequently encounter are extremes of heat, humidity, dust, cold and, on occasion, volcanic ash and smoke. This means that I’ve had extensive practice and learned to shoot under some very difficult conditions and have gleaned some useful techniques for doing so. Night photography and shooting extreme close-ups are other favorites of mine with lots of shooting tips and tricks learned “the hard way”.
