About me
I’m just a husband, father, son, brother, and friend living in Westbrook, Maine. My wife and I have raised our children and I am now discovering my old hobbies.
I live and work in the State of Maine, USA, as a loss mitigation manager specializing in helping clients navigate complex insurance claims. Outside of work, my greatest passions are photography, fishing, and spending quality time with Renee, my wife.
While landscape photography has been my primary focus, I have recently begun exploring new creative avenues and considering several personal projects. Each idea excites me, but deciding which one to pursue is a challenge, as all are worthy of my time and effort.
In December 2024, I was fortunate to find an incredible deal on new (to me,) photography equipment, which included a Canon 80D, a Canon 60D, a Canon 18-135mm IS lens, and a Sigma 150-500mm DG HSM APO lens—all for a total of $225. This purchase marked a significant upgrade from my Digital Rebel XS. Additionally, I’m able to use my existing Canon 50mm 1.8 and Tamron 18-200 lenses with the new cameras.
As someone who exclusively shoots in manual mode, the expanded options and improved capabilities of my upgraded gear have opened up a world of possibilities. I am eager to embrace these new tools and continue pushing the boundaries of my photography journey.

Thanks for your comments on"fossil Leaves", I've had a look at your pictures I like the way some of them portray a lovely scence of the community spirit where you live, something sadly lacking here in England, you certainly have a good eye for a picture.All the best.
John.

Hi, Tony -thanks for your comment on one of my photos.
I'm lucky, that now people from all over the world can see my photos,
that's where I've taken the photos for.
If you like Berlin at night, this one is for you :
You are telling, that you travel through your state extensively,
so I have another one for you.
Did you ever see a sunrise like that ?
