A Little History
January 2016 will be remembered for a number of new camera releases and a major snowstorm in Eastern USA.  I can’t remember a year when so many new camera announcements have been made so early in the year, especially during a Photokina year.   It looks like 2016 will be especially interesting, if some of the rumors have any teeth to them.

Photography is my passion and has been for 45 plus years. My career in photography has allowed me to travel the world, meet some of the most interesting people on the planet and see things I could never have dreamed of. My goal is to share the passion of pictures taking through photographs and teaching with as many people as I can hoping it brings them as much joy and happiness as it has me. I do this through Rockhopper Workshops and other projects as well as teaching at my Gallery in Indianapolis.
