About
I am an experienced photographer, photo post-processor, photo compositor, and copy layout designer. I have retired after 30 years of employement and now work as a freelance contractor
Photographer
I have been a full time or part time photographer since my third year in college. I have done wedding photos, pictures for reunions, anniversaries, and special gatherings. I enjoy landscape and wildlife photography and enjoy special projects. I have done everything from very serious and solemn occasions to fun and quirky photo shoots.
Photo Post-processor/compositor
I have used Photoshop since the early 1990s and Lightroom since 2010, doing photo post-processing, photo retouching, cleanup and restoration. I have also done extensive photo compositing and copy layout. I have taken thousands of hours of training seminars for use of both, and have used Photoshop on almost a daily basis.
Photo Post-processing
I love making photos "come alive" with various post-processing programs
