I retired from a 25 year career on Wall Street and relocated to Augusta, GA in 2009.
I spend my time trying to improve my skills as a photographer when I'm not volunteering at the Augusta Public Library. I'm a big francophile trying to become a francophone and I love Paris.
"To be a photographer, one must photograph. No amount of book learning, no checklist of seminars attended, can substitute for the simple act of making pictures. Experience is the best teacher of all. And for that, there are no guarantees that one will become an artist. Only the journey matters". Harry Callahan
"Nothing happens when you sit at home. I always make it a point to carry a camera with me at all times...I just shoot at what interests me at that moment". Elliott Erwitt
I'm amazed at how tall it is. The guy at the top gets a pretty good view!
