Columbia, MO.  One dog and three cats.  After almost a year of quiet I'm getting back into posting regularly. 

My primary work is done with a Nikon D700, which is the best camera I've ever owned.  I do infrared with a converted Nikon D50, and recently learned how to get good results with another D50 converted to full spectrum.  Both D50's I converted myself, and it was difficult but not as hard as replacing the shutter.

I've been photographing for 30 years, starting with my father's Canon AE-1, but never got serious until digital came along.  Primarily I do this as a hobby but I also photograph events for the organization I work for.
 
In my photo I'm sitting in the cockpit of one of the 7 P-38 Lightnings still flying.  Woo-Hoo!
