As a self-taught photographer, I make a point of using free or open-source software to create my images to show that professional looking images can be achieved with such software.

​

Some of these software packages I use on a regular basis are GIMP, Hugin, Raw Therapee, Darktable among others.

​

I have had my images published in online and print periodicals.

​

If you have found this site, I hope you take time to look at some of the galleries.  I enjoy creating the images so I want to share that enjoyment with others.

What is the meaning of life?  We've all asked Life that question but the answer that seems to come back is this...Life asks you, "what is the meaning of your life?"   So, my blog will offer a variety of posts related to photography, spirituality, philosophy or simply topics to give the mind something to think about.
