I have longstanding interests in photography, history, and travel. I've been doing photography since about 1984. Some of my favorite subjects are Civil War memorials, historic downtowns, and colleges.
I was delighted to find a new outlet for my passions in the 2012 "Wiki Loves Monuments" photo contest. I was pleased to discover that there were a bunch of National Historic Places in my area that had not been photographed. I travel a lot, and often check the list of NRHP properties to see if there is anything I can photograph during my travels. I am gratified that my image of Al Mac's Diner was selected as the third place winner in the 2012 Wiki Loves Monuments U.S. Photo contest. I also participated in the 2013, 2016, 2017, and 2019 Wiki Loves Monuments photo contests.
