You don’t take a photograph, you make it.

Ansel Adams

I started to teach myself about photography back in 1987.  About a year later, I became interested in scuba diving and became a certified dive instructor.  Before long I combined these two hobbies to document the beauty and wonder of the underwater world in Kuwait, other areas of the Arabian Sea and in the Red Sea. As I got caught up with the demands of everyday life, I found I didn’t have much time for diving anymore, but I still held my passion for photography.  While traveling in Europe, I enjoy taking pictures of the cityscapes and candid street photography.  In the USA I was able to participate in a workshop concentrating on photographing people and also joined a workshop focusing on landscapes and nature.
