I am a retired professor of psychology. I have been an amateur photographer since purchasing a Minolta SLR while in grad school in 1970. I like landscape photography because of the natural beautiful places it takes me to. I am at the middle of the learning curve of photography, I dearly need some guidance and mentoring.

As a child I enjoyed painting and architectural drawing. My hobby is also electronics. My personality is very much like my dear father, who always likes to carry the camera when going out on the street or while visiting the landscapes. After graduating from high school in 1976, I bought my first old camera, the Canon A1. I officially took part in professional classes for 1 year. I know how to develop black and white pictures very rudely because the tools are so simple and creative.
After graduating from college, I continued to take pictures, then studied for 3 years and joined the Photography Association of Washington Area. I worked with the members and served as a class leader for several years. I take part in teaching photography lessons and especially the Light Painting Photography subject. The device I am using is Sony A7RIII and Sony A9II. In addition, I study and teach Yoga, I love to take pictures of Yoga poses combined with Light Painting outdoors.

I live in Davis California, a good size little town halfway between San Francisco, and Lake Tahoe. I have lived here over 35 years with my wife, two kids, and three pets. When I was 6 years old, my father gave me a Kodak Brownie Instamatic Camera, and I have been trying to get this photography thing right for the past 59 years. I have a degree in Journalism and Photography, and love to tell stories with my camera. In 2018 I fully retired, allowing me more time to concentrate on my craft. I shoot Street Photography, Landscapes, and a thing I like to call: Antique Cityscapes. In other words, old buildings, old places, and out of the ordinary subjects. Today, I shoot both Color, and Black and White images, and if you asked me what I love to shoot the most, I would say: Wood, Bricks, and Corrugated Metal.

Since I retired, I have gotten back into photography. Joined a photography group in the community I live which introduced me to PSA. Many years ago, my main interest was photojournalism, wanted to be a sports photographer. But instead had a career in business. Since reengaging I have had to learn the digital world especially in Post editing.
My favorite approach to photography is the "walk-about" with a flexible plan of what I will capture. Areas I like to cover are landscape, gardens, waterscape, seascape, architecture and street photography.
With an increase in travel have been able to do more travel photography. I normally use Canon. Recently moved to a mirrorless R5. But have my iPhone and have been able to capture some good images with it.

I am an indian senior citizen, ex-employee of an Indian PSU. During my services my special assignment was ERP through SAP MM module. Photography is my serious hobby since my days of collage studies. I love to photograph during travel in my country. Landscape, waterscape and loudscape are my subjects of interest. In addition, travel photography also attracts my attention including historical monuments. Earlier I used analogue SLR cameras. Presently I am using Nikon DSLR with a few lens. I am also holding AFIAP and a life member of Federation of Indian Photography. I am one of the followers of Late Benu Sen, the famous photographer and writer of Kolkata, India.
I have joined PSA to concentrate more in photography.
