I am a Photographer, Historian, Author, Newspaper Columnist, Documentary Film Producer, Video Cast Co-Producer, and a Vietnam Veteran.  My interest photography goes back to the time I spent in Vietnam in 1968 - 1969. My camera of choice is a Canon 80D. Favorite photography subjects are nature and scenic.
