I consider myself to be an advanced amateur photographer, enjoying and experimenting with the various forms of capturing my pictures. My endeavors have included strobes and speedlites modified by snoots, umbrellas and reflectors. Location shooting such as lighthouses waterfalls gardens and wooded glens have been done. I also enjoy the post processing., working with Photoshop Elements creating montages and other effects. My efforts have been rewarded with enough acceptances in International Salons to attain two stars from the Photographic Society of America and for two years running Honorable Mention by the New England Camera Club Council. At present I am Membership Chair for the Milford Camera Club and Past President.
