I LOVE bird photography!

Photography - Photography is my passion!  I've been taking pictures since I was a little kid.  I started out with an old box camera that you held at your waist and looked through a mirror at your subject.  The pics were lousy (I was a kid), but I have seen some beautiful photographs produced with box cameras today!  That's exciting!

I began 35 mm SLR photography in 1983 with a Yashika FX-3.  Awesome camera!  I still have it to this day and use it from time to time.  The problem is that it requires film development.

Today, I much prefer DSLR in order to "develop and enlarge" my own shots on the PC.  I chose the Canon Digital Rebel with a 75-300 mm lens.  I LUV it!!

Pyro Montage

Pyrography (Drawing with Fire) - I've been burning designs on wood for almost two years now.  I like to try new things with my creations.  New techniques like a different tip or stroke or whatever it is that will allow me to create a cool (actually hot)  image on wood.

Once the burn is complete, I use Prismacolor pencils to give each of my pieces color and verve.
