As an avid photographer and artist, I tried to find a way to be both. Having only time to dedicate to
one hobby, coupled with my wife's photographic interest, I found myself more skillful with the
camera rather than the canvas. With the advancement of digital photography, I discovered a way that
I could finally do both, and now use my artistic eye and digital skill to “paint” photographs.
But it didn't stop there. Eventually photography would be complemented by video. Along with both,
came the desire to travel to capture the visual splendors of nature.
Several years later, after traveling throughout the world, we now create our one of a kind
"PhotoStrokes" artwork, offer wildlife photo tours and lessons, and produce entertaining and
informational movies.
