For over twenty years, I have been a photographer.  My first SLR camera was handed down from my father when he upgraded.  It was a Minolta XG-7 and I was about 13 years old.  I used that camera for years, taking photos for the Rondout Valley High School Yearbook, and then later using it on various expeditions.  It wasn't until about two years ago that I decided to share my creative vision with the rest of the world.  With much encouragement from my family and friends, I set out to make an impact on you, to share my point of view.  Now I shoot with Canon equipment, digital and 35mm.
