I was an elementary school teacher with Minneapolis Public Schools for 31 years and have had a passion for photography since my high schools days. I taught basic black and white darkroom photography to elementary and middle school students during the summer for many years. After retiring from teaching I switched from film to digital when my wife and I began traveling. Now, widowed with two sons and their families, I live in the Glen Lake area of Minnetonka. I continue traveling and enjoy sharing my perspective of the world with others through my photography.
