Al Swanson

I was born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and attended the University of Minnesota. Upon graduation I entered the Air Force and served as a transportation and logistics officer until my retirement. I then went to work for a Denver-based transportation organization. I am now happily retired in Colorado Springs. I am married to my wife of 52 years and have two sons, both living in Colorado, and each giving me two grandchildren (two boys and two girls).

I have been involved in photography for many many years and have owned several cameras during that time. Currently I enjoy using a Canon 5D and 7D as my primary tools. As for the types of photography enjoy, they are varied. I love the action of rodeos and the excitement of finding new landscapes. I have always enjoyed photographing flora and I hope to learn more techniques from this group.
