I've been a freelance photographer off and on for more than 30 years.  I also write short stories and have had a couple of them published.  I live in the California foothills just 12 miles from Yosemite National Park.  It's great being just a few miles from some of the worlds most beautiful scenery.  I'm always looking for inspiration and ideas.  Just the last few years I've tried to learn Daz 3D, 3D Max and more recently Poser.  Anything to keep the old mind occupied.  I'm also proud of my daughter who has learned Daz 3D and has many, many renderings posted on this site.
