I have been a photographer for well over 40 years. For the past twenty plus years my base has been Costa Rica. I have experimented with and practiced many types of photography. My favorite is nature photography, in a broad sense. That love for nature is what originally brought me to Costa Rica. This small country is situated in a very unique location on the isthmus between North and South America. Distances are such that it is easy to get from tropical beaches to rain forests to cold mountain tops within the space of a couple hundred miles. Costa Rica is a true Paradise for nature lovers.

My intention with this blog site is to let you take advantage of my years behind the cameras so you can forge a shorter route to taking better photos with whatever camera you have chosen to use. Basic photographic principles always apply whether we’re talking about a $150 dollar “point and shoot” or a thousand- dollar Digital SLR. If you learn and practice the basics, you will take better pictures. Pictures you will be proud to share with friends and to put on display.
