My love of photography began while working for a newspaper many years ago. Sports was the subject of my first photographs, then I later began to shoot news photos and migrated to capturing landscape and nature images. Recently, my focus has become portrait photography -- not in a studio, but mostly outdoors, on location. I also enjoy street photography, capturing candid images of people in their environment. I especially like the contrast and visual texture of black-and-white photography. I hope you enjoy these pictures.
