However, if I am aware of an active nest, a particular perch that a hummingbird likes or I find a a kill, etc., I will return to those spots and wait to see what might happen. I find the majority of subjects for my photos simply hiking and observing the wildlife when it presents itself. This gives me the opportunity to take nature photos from different parts of the United State and the world. Along with my wife Eve, I also take trips to places and parks in the US and travel occasionally overseas. Living in Akron, I am on the edge of the Park and walk its trails almost daily. My main state for my photography is the Cuyahoga Valley national Park. Several months after retiring, my wife Eve gave a a Canon camera and my real passion for photography began.

Photography has always been one of my interests. And in this setting was where my love and respect of nature was born. Growing up on the edge of a small town at that time, gave me the freedom to explore my surroundings which meant spending a lot of time outdoors. I was born in Sugarcreek, a small village in northeast Ohio.
