I started shooting pictures in 1963 in high school. In 1969, I joined the submarine service and became the "ship's photographer". After the service I finished collage and went on to settle down, started a family, had no money which was good because I didn't have the time to spend it. Finally after retiring 2 years ago, I decided to take up photography again. I keep busy with Photoshop(for family restorations) and Lightroom, a Canon EOS 80D, Canon 100 mm Macro with stabilizer, 18 to 135 zoom, 50mm 1.8 and a Canon 15 mm fisheye.
