Your Bio

I have been taking pictures for over 20 years, ever since my children were babies. During that time photography has evolved almost as interestingly as they have. I believe that good pictures are all around each and every one of us--all we have to do is look for them.

Turkey Run State Park and Parke County, Indiana : Indiana's state parks are a great source of pictures. Turkey Run is especially nice for springtime flowers. There are also covered bridges, interesting rock formations and canyons, and hiking trails for further exploration.

Flower and Patio Show : A Flower & Patio Show is just the thing for winter-wearied eyes that have seen nothing but whites, grays, beiges and browns for months. Having said that, I must admit that the display that most intrigued me this time was mostly. . .white!! You just never know, I guess. I was using a tilting flash diffuser/bouncer for many of these shots, and/or a high ISO setting.

Winter Scenes : These winter shots were taken over a period of three years, all at or near home. I guess that proves once again that one doesn't have to trek to faraway locales to get worthwhile pictures. Snow is a good subject because it truly transforms the most ordinary of objects.

Enhancements and Elaborations : The gallery name pretty much says it all. These are images that have been altered "in-software." Paint Shop Pro "Effects," layers, and other tools have been used on the pictures.
