"I work as a private practioner in Internal Medicine & Pediatrics at a local outpatient clinic. I have had an interest in photography since childhood. Introduced to photography through my Father who always carried his Minolta camera and its tripod wherever we went, it did not really become a hobby until about 6 years a...go. I am not a professional photographer and have never really taken any technical photography classes. I just enjoy it. Given the privilege to travel, I have had wonderful opportunities to record the beauty of the earth and its inhabitants. Even in the midst of this world which seems more and more filled with unrest and distress, there are moments when one is reminded that peace exists in the simplicity of a moment. It is my hope that these pictures can bring moments of peace to those with whom they meet."
