Photography is more than a passing interest to me. I got my SLR in 1969 and moved to digital in the late 1990's. While I did not take any photos presented in this book (my first) I did the layout and manipulated all the images with Photoshop. I my passion is nature and I have a special fondness for flowers. The vast majority of my work has been in theme of nature. It has taken to Africa, Australia, Midway Island, and few other exotic locals, all for the nature image.
