I am a self-taught photographer who has been practicing for years. I’ve been practicing photography since 2006 when I got my first dSLR, a Nikon D50.
In 2008, I headed to Badlands National Park in South Dakota and fell in love with the American West. Although I live in New Jersey, I try to head out West at least once a year for photography, hiking, camping, relaxing, and recharging.
My preferred photographic subjects include landscapes, the Milky Way / night skies, and flowers.
ARTsee
