I  have been a photographer, artist, and author as far back as I can remember, clear back into elementary school.  I have been a professional for nearly 60 years.   In 2001, in search of a slower paced, more artistic life, my wife and I and our dogs moved first to a small rural town nestled amongst the Northern California coastal redwoods and then more recently to a small island in the San Juan islands of Washington state where we currently live.
