HelloAbou
Hello! I am not a professional photographer. However, I have had a 35mm camera in my hands for over 45 years. As a horticulture professor, I have used it to document my research, teach my students and educate producers and consumers of horticultural products.
My photo-taking has been fairly functional and descriptive for about 35 of those years. Ten years ago, I began seeing photography as another way of expressing that creative drive in me. I have found great joy and satisfaction being in a beautiful garden and capturing an image that reminds me of the moment or even enhances the memory.
For me, part of the creative process is sharing it with others. So I have created this portfolio. It contains mostly recent creative work but there are a few images with some age on them. My images fall into a few categories, so I have placed them as such for clarity. I will update them as the need or impulse dictates.
Please enjoy them. If you care to comment on one or more images, or if you want to provide a link to some of your own, please do.
