I started out with a Canon AE-1 film camera years ago, which was used for family and vacation "snapshots".
In 2005, I purchased a Nikon Coolpix point and shoot digital camera.  I began posting my photographs at my Renderosity.com online gallery, and became interested in creating better quality images than just the average snapshot after seeing the wealth of creativity than can has been produced by other photographers online.

In 2006, I upgraded from my point and shoot Nikon to a Canon DSLR camera.  There is a learning curve involved if one uses other modes besides the automatic mode, and I am still learning every day.  While I am still a virtual beginner in the realm of digital photography, it is an challenging but enjoyable hobby.

I enjoy nature photography, especially bird photography.  The four dogs pictured are my Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, which are the basis for my online name both here and at Renderosity.com, where I have posted my photography and previous fractal art images.
