Since retiring in 2004 and moving to the Santa Lucia Mountains in California's Central Coast, I have had the opportunity to do more than enjoy the beautiful scenery around me. Everywhere I look, I see pictures and hope that some of them have become photographic works of art. I shoot what I see and always let my photos represent what I shoot, rather than doctoring the pictures to create an enhanced version of the reality that caught my eye and made my pulse race. Photography is truly my passion.
