In 2006 I purchased my first 6 Mega Pixel Digital pocket size camera to go to my nephew's wedding in Maui. My sister encouraged me in my photography and was my inspiration and mentor.
To become more knowledgeable, I completed a certificate in Applied Photography from Mohawk College. I have taken the PSA, NFRCC, OCCC and CAPA Judging courses and attained the CAPA Judges Certification. It has increased my knowledge in that area. For the past 5 years I have judged for both CAPA and PSA as well as some individual clubs. I enjoy doing this as I learn as well.
I have been a member of the Hamilton Camera Club for the past 14 years and was the secretary for 4 years. The Camera Club has been a good source of learning and I consider myself an amateur photographer who enjoys this in retirement. I feel that continuing to learn is the key to success in any endeavour including photography.
I enjoy capturing those special moments with my camera. I shoot with Lumix 4/3 cameras (G9) and sometimes with my iPhone 16 Pro as that is the camera I always have with me.

I retired in December of 2022 and I have picked a photography hobby that I had in middle school and high school. I'm not sure how I got away from photography, but I am enjoying my return. The digital cameras offer a lot more functionality than back in the day, and I have spent a good deal of time learning the camera, and how to apply these functions.
I have joined PSA in order to get more feedback on my images. I am also a member of the North Metro Photo Club in Fridley Minnesota.
My main interests are architecture, cityscapes, and still lifes. I also tend to use monochrome on a regular basis.

I was born in Essex, UK but moved to beautiful Mid Wales 28 years ago. In January 2020 I moved to a bungalow just outside Hay on Wye. I have my dog Gemma and we go for long walks each day. Apart from my photography I am an avid reader.
<br />
<br />MY interest in photography mainly started when digital came in though have always owned a camera. I am mostly interested in macro, wildlife and still life photography. I have had quite a lot of acceptances in international salons and recently managed to get a PSA gold medal in one of them.
<br />
<br />I joined Hay on Wye camera club about eight years ago and am their treasurer which I enjoy doing.
<br />
<br />I have gained the BPE* award, PPSA and AFIAP.

I am a retired architect, having spent the last 28 years of my career as a university architect overseeing all planning, design, and construction for three campuses. My interest in photography began in high school, where I served as yearbook photographer and bought my first camera, a Canon FTb, which I loved and still remember fondly.
Over the years I've acquired many cameras, always staying loyal to Canon, and I currently work with the Canon R5 Mark II. My photographic interests are wide-ranging, but I am especially drawn to architectural, landscape, and wildlife photography. I also enjoy experimenting with other genres as part of my ongoing growth as a photographer.
I joined PSA to continue learning, sharpen my skills, and connect with others who share the same passion for photography.
