Avid amateur photographer since 1978, when I got my first camera, a Nikon FE. Have passed through all the wet lab techniques available commercially, being my favorite one Cybachrome. Shot almost exclusively Velvia slide film while not in digital. Switched to digital in 2004 with a Canon Digital Rebel. Have been a Canon user, and briefly a Pentax user in 2007. Switched back to Canon last year, but dumped everything for Micro 4/3s. Amazing little cameras.

My preferences are Landscape and Street Photography, Architectural, Scenic, Macro, Travel and Family.

Living in Panama since 2011, working for a Seattle Based Software Company
