I chose photography as a hobby because I've always had an interest in photographs. I first took an interest in it after my mother showed me some of the work my late father had done. Though he was an amateur, he was really quite good, I thought. Later in high school, I took a class in photography, but it was cut short because my instructor had a heart attack, and never returned to class. I kind of got away from it as different events and distractions in my life took precedent. Then in 1981, I bought my first SLR. I had a ball learning on it and creating some great memories. Fast forward to the present. I am semi-retired and I was looking for some way to occupy my time. I still have the passion for beautiful pictures as well as a curiosity to see just how creative I can become. My exhibit shows the diverse architecture of structures in and around the Kansas City area, from Excelsior Springs to Independence, to downtown, to liberty, to Overland Park, Kansas.
