| By profession, I am an Electronics Engineer with a degree from
Mississippi State University. I am 53 years old and live in southern California.
Having lived in the Southwest for many years (Arizona, New Mexico and California)
I grew to appreciate the beauty of mountains and the vast natural look of
the west. I guess I fell in love with mountains when I lived in southeastern
Ohio at about eleven years of age. There, the rolling hills with buckeye
trees and streams were where I would often spend my days in the summer. I
have done photography as a hobby for many years and can now combine that
medium with the computer and do photo re-touching. I use programs like Vista
Pro to create senic pictures. Even though the computer renders the picture,
I use my vision to get what I want or at least what I think looks good. This
means rejecting many renderings while I change colors, re-locate the camera
and target positions etc. One picture can take many hours to do, some up
to 20 hours. All of us have some small talents and a lucky few have a lot
of talent at something. Whatever you have, explore as far as you can and
you will be amazed at what you can accomplish. This is what I do, even though
it can be a struggle at times. I also enjoy MIDI music and you will find
some of my favorites on my MIDI page. I have re-mixed many of these to improve
the way they sound. The process of sequencing these songs takes more talent
than I possess. The only song here that I did is Night in Japan. I hope you
enjoy the art and music here, if you have a comment feel free to drop me
an e-mail.
