I have been taking photos since I was 18 years old, that was 34 years ago and I still enjoy it as much as I did then. I can remember being inspired by all those old copies of National Geographic laying around my grandmother's house. I always wanted to go to those places and I always wanted to take photos like that.I'm still working on it but I still continue to improve. In addition to being an amateur photographer I am a professional horticulturalist as well.more
