I was born
and
raised in
Brooklyn, New York. At the age of ten I
developed an interest in
birding after watching Black-capped Chickadees
feed on the seeds of
giant Sunflowers in a neighbor's yard. Some
years later, after
obtaining a graduate degree in Mechanical
Engineering, I found myself
in San Diego, California. I'm still here.
Through
the years I dabbled with photography, mostly
landscapes. In
2001 I purchased my first digital SLR, the Canon
D30, and my interest
in photography became more serious. After taking a
local bird
photography workshop, I became passionate about
photographing birds.
Having retired at the end of 2013, I
now travel often in search of birds to photograph
and present Slideshows
of my images to
local San Diego organizations.
Although you
will find a few images of other nature subjects on
my website, it's
really
all about the birds.
