Dale Yates

I live in the small town of Belleville, Michigan, which is near Ann Arbor and considered a suburb of Detroit. My wife and I have 2 grown children and 5 grandchildren. I retired a few years ago after a 36 year career at a major freight railroad. My interest in photography began in 2008 (approximately) when my wife bought me my first camera for Christmas. Since then I have enjoyed countless hours taking photos wherever I could and of whatever I could. In order to further my photography interest and skills, I have taken a few photography courses, including Photography Instruction and Image Analysis, both through PSA (both highly recommended). My areas of interest in photography include landscape, nature, black & white, architecture, and macro...in general, anything interesting. Photography to me is relaxing and is both enjoyable and educational.
