I grew up in Forest Hills, New York, moving to Mineola when my wife and I got married and shortly thereafter, Commack. 

I got my love of photography from my father, who had such a good eye for composing photos. He paints now and is still such an inspiration for me.

I started out as a boy using those cameras with the square bulb on top.  For one of my birthdays, my father bought me a Pentax K1000, which I used until I graduated college. I bought a Canon camera at that point and used that until COVID, when I bought a Canon 90D.  Unfortunately, due to my job as a financial analyst in the city I really don’t have much time to go out and shoot much. 

I do use Photoshop to alter my pictures a bit,as you can see, but hope by joining this club and forcing myself to go out and shoot more I can take better pictures in camera and use the 90D to its fullest potential. There is still so much to the camera I don’t use and so many shooting techniques I need to learn.

The photos I uploaded are some of my favorites through the years.
