Mightier than the thunders of many waters, mightier than the waves of the sea, the Lord on high is mighty! ~Psalm 93:4

I teach digital photography at a Southern California high school.
My interest in photography began during my senior year at Indiana University, in 1978. My father gave me an all manual S.L.R. as a Christmas gift. He told me that I would have to really learn about photography to use the camera.

That year I had the opportunity to take an elective course and I chose photography! I learned quite a lot in the Photojournalism Class. It was taught by a former Life Magazine photographer. He made the class interesting by sharing his experiences in the field!
I got serious about photography during the 1984 Olympics when my wife and I attended the track and field events and I saw how amazing it was to have photo opportunities at major events. Then I began taking every photo class they had at the local junior college. That is when I really learned about photography. I was hooked.

Every day I shoot photos it is like Christmas. I cannot wait to get home and see what I was able to capture with my camera!
