About me

I know how to operate a camera!!!

I still travel to Rota, Spain as I still have my spanish apartment in Rota (Cadiz). Remarried in 2016 to my Nikon-shooter Sheila, and now reside in western New York (WNY) for the moment.
-------
I'm an AMERICAN busy traveling and snapping fotos, BUT you can still email me directly with your thoughts, money donations for food for me and my camera, cakes or pies (I love German apple pie) or any comments at fototaker at gmail dot com. danKe/gracias/thanks!! When I am in Spain I am always searching for a muse for my camera!
-----------------------------
Freelance photographer for many many decades, now working with a Canon EOS R5 with a few of my older EOS lenses, with an Olympus M1mkIII on emergency standby. I enjoy many themes and subjects but what I REALLY love: portraits, landscapes, and details of everything and ANYthing; buildings.. the older the beTTer!! My paSSion: artnudes, as the body is the true landscape...

I am continuously searching for creative people to assist me in continuing my various projects in artnudes and body landscapes. I am always seeking collaborators to share in art, beauty and the study of light upon skin and textures. Also LOVE talking to other photographers about our paSSion of photography...

ALSO: danKe/thanks/gracias to those who comment on my work displayed here. In case you havent noticed: I ALWaYS display my fotos small :(( once you have had your fotos stolen and/or displayed somewhere else under a different name, you'll understand why I always display my fotos small!! WHO's using YOUR fotos in their websites??

If your passion of photography is the same as mine, I enjoy meeting & talking to others who share my passion for photography. I'm a traveler and would be willing to exchange fotos of you, your pet dog, your car or whatever in exchange for a chat, a bed to rest my lenses on, and a tour of your area. Donations gladly accepted... those wishing to support this artist in financial means, can receive an image in exchange of their kindness and donation.
Self-portrait avatar pix was recorded while in my apt in Spain (2006).

    ha ha thanks, but I have a few fireworks shots from previous years, that I could trick my friends with ;-)
    I'm back in the city again, was in Sonora for the weekend. I was worried I'd freeze to death after a 100 degree weekend there, but it's actually not so bad here, nice and sunny :-)

    By the way this picture was taken from my kitchen window when I lived in North Beach. I have moved to Nob Hill since, and unfortunately don't have such great views anymore :-(

    Have a great rest of the day

    Buenos dias

    I have been living for two month in Cádiz capital and over 2,5 years close to Marbella.
    I prefer the costa de luz to marbella and the costa del sol.
    Just tjinking of the beaches at the atlantic or watching the kite-surfers in Tarifa in front of the Marrocian coast makes me feel homesick (going back to spain I mean)

    Looking forward to more pictures
