PENTAX Photo Gallery: Artist Bio

Lake Oswego, OR - United States

I got started in photography in the mid 70s using an old Ansco range finder of my mothers. Around 1984 At 19, I received a Pentax P3 as a present and I have been on Pentax ever since. I still use that original 50mm. My real photographic side started in 1988 during my first deployment overseas onboard the USS Constellation I realized then that every moment in Naval Aviation was unique. This led to my first magazine cover shot done with a P3n. I bought an SF1 in Hong Kong and began my journey with Pentax gear My area of specialty and most of my published work has been while flying as a Navy officer. My image work is diverse, and I enjoy working night time, sports and macro photography My work is mostly featured in the Tailhook Associations HOOK journal and has also appeared in Naval Aviation News, and Naval Institute Proceedings.
