    Biography: Retired Professional Engineer. . Major photography interests include conceptual abstracts, oddities, humor and occasionally landscapes. I have a critical eye and have judged several state and regional photography contests. I have also been blessed by the acceptance of two images published in National Geographic.

    I mainly use an Olympus E-520 manually with Olympus OM glass - usually Vivitar Series 1 35-85 macro zoom or a 50-200 Macro Zoom plus various Zuiko OM lenses. I also love to use an Olympus Stylus 8000 Tough which is a lot of fun if you're just goofing around.
