A 50 Year Photographic Journey
A few of my favorite places.
I started taking pictures in 1965 when my seventh grade science teacher let a few of us borrow his Nikon and use a small darkroom set up in the back of the science lab. Photography has been a hobby ever since. I am trying to figure out what to do with my 200,000 images. Don’t worry, I’ve cut it back a little for the web site.

Oh wow, Bill. Truly wow. I am speechless….What you’ve created is exceptional, inspiring, and beautifully done. It absolutely deserves to be published and shared far beyond the group. This brought the trip back to life in a powerful way.
