I have lived most of my life in north-central Florida. My interests are in both genealogy and photography.  Family and family history has always been very important to me.  I was born in 1964 in Baltimore Maryland, the youngest of a family of five siblings. 

I became interested in photography while enrolled in a high school course in the early 1980s.  My first camera was a used 35mm manually operated Canon F1.  Today I have several professional cameras that include digital, 35mm and medium format as well as a wide variety of lenses and accessories.

A photograph is a moment captured in time.  A photograph can describe a place that words cannot, remind us of a precious memory of a bygone era, generate feelings of emotion, or tell a story in such a way that you could not easily put to words.  Photography is the art of creating such a photograph.
