I am an amateur photographer in Sugar Land, Texas. My passion for photography started about 50 years ago when I was given a kit to develop black and white film. I saved my money and purchased an enlarger and converted one of our bathrooms into a dark room. In high school I took some photography classes and learned to use an SLR for the first time. Now that I am nearing retirement from a career as a chemist, I find my passion for nature photography growing more and more. I love landscape, avian and macro photography.
