I am a retired American man learning photography My favorite color is bright lemon yellow. I like Kurt Vonnegut, Schubert, Leonard Cohen, smaller government, and liberty,

I have a lot of lenses but I find myself using Nikon 50mm 1.4 most of the time.

I never go out to shoot photos. I take my camera wherever I go.

Most of the time when I see something very interesting I forget I am a photographer and just experience it without capturing it. Then I feel silly and wonder if I can call myself a photographer.

I like to take photos of living things. The more intelligent the subject the more I like to shoot it. My first choice is dogs, then people, then birds, sometimes a giant lizard and lastly flowers. I shoot flowers when I am very desperate for a subject.

I take my photos for humans to enjoy not photographers.
