I live in a tiny little town in North Jersey. I have 2 grown sons and 1 beautiful grandson. Back in ’08 I won some money in Vegas and invested in a Canon Rebel T1i and fell in love with taking pictures. I always did “take pictures” but now I had a tool at my disposal that could even help make the bad ones look better. Since then I’ve tried to learn more about composition, lighting, etc. but try and keep the focus on having fun.
I love photographing wildlife, particularly eagles, though I don’t get to do that too often. I also love shooting puppies and dogs, especially in light of my involvement with raising the puppies and being part of a club of people that do the same.
I am using a Canon Rebel T1i with various lenses. It’s a perfect camera for me in my position of having a lot to learn. I am pleased with its performance, tho I am starting to get the itch to upgrade.
I’ve had it now for 2 and a half years and hopefully will use it another 2. (not being independently wealthy)
I’m a volunteer puppy raiser for the Seeing Eye in Morristown, which is the oldest guide dog institution in the U.S. My last pup just went back for training so I have a break right now and hope to get some more photography in.





Hi,
I was searching for pictures fromaround Newark, NJ for my 6th grade environmental science blog and found your site. I love your pics and your blog. Would I be able to one or two of your pics on my school blog if I give you photo credit?
Thanks,
