I learned photography in high school and joined the Air Force in 1968. In 1969 while in Viet Nam my creativity began to flourish, where I garnered some serious recognition for my work. I graduated from Brooks Institute in 1978 winning a few prestigious awards as a student. Later I worked for Rockwell International for 5 years as an in-house photographer. I put down the camera for 15 years until 1995 when I bought my first digital camera. I love JPG as it is broadening my view of the world.
