Let me start by saying that I welcome all comments and I will answer all legitimate questions. I look forward to hearing from everyone and hope you find these images enjoyable.
As for who I am. I’m a happily married senior citizen and I have two adult children. One 34 and the other 38. I also have two granddaughters ages 7 and 11. I’ve lived in Central CT all of my life. I’m a full time field sales rep. A position I’ve enjoyed for over 35 years.
I owned a successful part time photography business, (primarily weddings,portraits, events), for several years before retiring from all professional work back in 2006. I think I was suffering from burnout at that time. I didn’t touch a camera again until 2011 when the passion returned.
For this blog I initially focused on abandoned buildings. As interests changed I drifted towards old barns. However because I shoot mostly in CT I’m finding that, after shooting hundreds of barns I’m running out. As a result I’ll photograph just about anything that interests me and I’m constantly looking to learn and try new techniques. I’m very happy to say that my wonderful wife Cheryl accompanies me on a vast majority of my shoots these days. It makes it a lot more enjoyable for me to say the least.
These images have been photographed with either a Sony Nex-7, 24.3 MP.mirrorless DSLR, a Fuji finepix 100fd, 12MP pocket camera, a Nikon D7100 24.3mp DSLR, Sony A7RV 61mp mirrorless full frame DSLR, or a Sony A7RII, 42.3mp, full frame DSLR. Very rarely I took some shots with a cell phone camera. I’m not satisfied with it’s controls or resolution so I shy away from that although I see others that take gorgeous pictures with their cell phones. I own a variety of lenses for the Sony and Nikon from wide angle to telephoto and many in between.
Every time I square up a picture in a camera and take time to appreciate the beauty around us I can’t help but appreciate that I’m here and a part of it. I love hearing the click of the shutter and am addicted for life!
Thank you for visiting my site.
