I am a Florida native and have always had a love of this place and  an interest in nature and art. My interest in art began long before college, but before focusing on formal studies, I worked for several years in a professional photo studio and then for a film studio. After those experiences, I changed direction and attended the University of Florida (UF) where I received my BS and MS in Plant Sciences, then working in ornamental plant breeding research at the UF/IFAS/Mid-Florida Research and Education Center (MREC) for about 12 years. In the early 90's I again redirected my interests into information technology and I am currently the IT coordinator at MREC.

Circuitously, I returned to photography via the computer and digital cameras.

While PhotoGraphics is a collection of images in several categories taken over time, my PhotoBlog represents images shot on a daily basis or rediscover in my personal archives.

I also sometimes add haiku to the photographs that inspire such verse, I hope that you visit "A photo and a haiku ..." and leave a comment if you enjoy these offerings.

Please be aware that while no prices are listed for any of the photographs shown here, if you wish to purchase one, please feel free to contact me at the address below and I will get back with a quote for a custom professional print.
