Classic Cars: The highlight of my photographic year is Car Week in August. I enjoy the beauty of the machines, new and old, nostalgic or exotic. My art is based on using Photoshop to compose images in which the cars evoke the right time and place. I take background photos all year never knowing which will fit which car. The fun is in making the image look believable, while creating an evocative image.

Fortuitous Photos: Being a photographer means constantly looking. This has resulted in many short term projects that I've enjoyed. These have included studies from PG weathervanes, to airplane museums.

Landscapes: We are so favored in living here surrounded by such natural beauty. Having been a docent at Pt. Lobos, I share the beauty of that wonderful place as well as the peninsula and valleys.
