As a retired scientist & engineer I hope to show the beauty in both nature and technology through photography. To this end I use both film and digital media, in sub 35 mm (digital), and 35 mm, 6X7 cm and 4X5 inch (film) formats. In the accompanying portfolio you can see my photographs, from chromosomes at 2000x to a galactic nebula and objects in between. I enjoy solving the technical problems associated with difficult imaging situations. Special apparatus can be assembled to meet your specific requirements.
