Sixteen years ago I realized I had more than a casual interest in photography while working on a Ph.D. in marine biology, studying sea lions in Alaska. I was more inspired by the scenery than the science, and since then I have honed my technique and vision in courses and workshops. I photograph whatever catches my eye, from leaves, landscapes, skyscrapers, and people, to old rusty trucks. Over the years, however, I have discovered that I have an affinity for architecture, both as a fan and as a photographer.
