About the Photographer

Hover Text

I have been fascinated with taking images since I was a teenager. I started with a Pentax film camera, which I acquired from a friend returning home from Korea. When that camera stopped working, I began my journey with Canon products in 1985. As my photography interest grew, so did my inventory of Canon camera bodies and lenses. Currently I’m using the following equipment: Camera Bodies – Canon EOS Rebel T3i (converted 590nm Infrared), Canon EOS 5D Mark II (converted 830nm Infrared), Canon EOS 60D, Canon EOS 6D Mark II, Canon EOS 7D Mark II …… Lenses – Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 IS II, Canon MP-E 65mm Macro 1-5x f/2.8, Canon EF 100mm Macro f/2.8 IS USM, Canon EF 16-35mm f/4 L IS USM, Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS, Canon EF 100-400mm f/4 L IS USM, Lensbaby - various lenses. And a lot of accesories. You would think that I would be sponsored by Canon, but I do enjoy my Canon equipment.

I am looking forward to the second quarter of 2023 when Canon is suppose to release the R5 Mark II camera body. I would love to be able to try using one for a while to see if I need to upgrade to a mirrorless camera with around a 65 megapixel sensor and AI features in it. Maybe someone at Canon will feel sorry for me and send me a loaner. We all have to have a dream.

The two infrared converted cameras were produced by Life Pixels Infrared Camera Conversions. They do an extremely professional job working with you to convert a camera to the various infrared and/or ultraviolet conversions. If you would like to see what they offer, please go to their website - www.lifepixel.com/ - I would highly recommend them.

I enjoy photographing all aspects of nature, especially the small and often overlooked subjects. I don’t consider myself exclusively a nature photographer, as I am open to whatever may present itself in my wanderings through life.

I hope that you will look at the images and enjoy them. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me.
