After teaching high school students for 32 years, my interest in photography took an unexpected and very rewarding turn when I retired. When I began this wonderful and addicting hobby, I did not know the difference between shutter speeds or F-stops, and I was definitely lens challenged. I am now the student and no longer the teacher.

I taught marine biology and oceanography and shared the wonders, beauty, and importance of our oceans with my students. I am now trying to capture these wonders through photography. Scuba diving allows you to float and move free of time and gravity. Underwater photography is definitely a challenge, but having a camera in my hands has helped me be a better observer and a better diver. Photography has made me slow down to appreciate and capture the moment. I’m loving my new journey!

Nature’s magnificence is not restricted to the underwater world. I also enjoy “top side” photography. A quick stop by the side of the road with camera in hand often provides opportunities to capture amazing scenes and sights. These photos on my website capture subjects and moments that I will always remember. I hope they will bring enjoyment to you.

I work with a really great photo lab that has a variety of printing and medium options. Use the contact form below if any of my photos interest you.
