I retired in 2001. Photography has become an increasingly important activity for me. Several National Geographic and Lindblad photography experts have helped my journey to becoming a better more accomplished photographer. Great subject matter certainly helps! I have journeyed to all of the continents and tried to record my travels so others can enjoy the sights I have seen. Recently, with the Covid-19 pandemic in full swing, I have endeavoured to work on my camera and editing skills. Every day I've been out there clicking away and my latest book "Covid Solace" is the result. Photography is truly a never ending challenge and educator. I often learn more about my subject matter than I do about photography. More subject matter knowledge makes for more interesting shots!
