Me, on Glacier Ridge Trail, Glacier National Park, September 2004.

Every photographer wants to show his or her photos to the world. What better or easier place to start than here, on the World Wide Web? 

I live close to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Friends and family have often commented that I take good pictures. Maybe I have some talent for looking through a camera view finder, and understanding some of the technical stuff helps. But I think taking lots and lots of shots is bound to produce a few good ones. Then only show the good ones. A digital camera makes that easy.

I started taking pictures with a very simple, totally manual, 35mm camera over 30 years ago. That kind of camera is probably the best type to learn with, but difficult to find now.

I started playing with my first compute when I bought a Radio Shack MC-10. It had 4ooo bytes of memory, of which 1800 bytes were available for 'Basic Language' programming.

I bought my first digital camera, 1.2 mega pixels, in 2000.

In the next two years, I may have taken more digital photos than I took 35mm photos, in the first 30 years.

Also, I think more people have seen more of my digital photos in two years, than ever saw my 35mm photos. Most of the 35mm prints and slides sit in shoe boxes or hard cover photo albums, of which some also sit in boxes.

The mix of digital photography, computer and the internet has been an enormous pleasure. See Camera Talk for more.  It has not been much help for my waist line.

I hope you have a few pleasurable moments viewing my work here. If you find a photo you would like to use on your computer as wallpaper, go right ahead.

$ If you wish to use one of my images commercially, you'll find my rates are very cheap. $10 or $20 (maybe less) may get you limited use of some of my original digital images.

On my Home Page I've included a link to Bob's Canadian Rockies. Those photos were taken before I ever thought of a digital camera and were first posted to the web in 1999.
