I have always had an interest in photography. When I was young, I worked all summer in a meat
department to earn enough money for my first 35mm camera. It was not the best camera in the world, I
bought it used, but it was mine. I didn't shoot many photos with the camera before it stopped working.

While I was attending USC in LA, I bought my first new 35mm camera, a Pentax. I started shooting a lot
of photos then. In 1973 and 1974, I won ribbons at the Monterey County Fair for my photography
(mostly flowers and landscapes). My success at the fair soon led to a job with a couple of professional
studios in Salinas, CA. I shot wedding pictures for over seven years. Anyone remember Dolly and
Bob's Studio? and/or Les Ng Photography? I did a lot of work for those two studios. During that time, I
purchased a professional camera, a rolleiflex. I did many family portraits and senior photos. My focus
(no pun intended) changed when I started a management career with Safeway and ultimately with
Waste Management. During this time, I only did a small amount of professional photography with Ron's
Photography and Video.  In 2010, I retired from my former careers and concentrated on Photography
and wedding officiating.  

I have taken photos at the Consumer Electronic Show and AE Expo in Las Vegas, flower photography
at local flower shows including Pacific Plug and Liner (Watsonville, CA) and Goldsmith's (Gilroy, CA),
many senior class portraits and family portraits, and numerous elopement weddings.   I also have
experience in boudoir, "expecting," implied, model,"Betty," and more.  


EQUIPMENT:   Nikon D750, Canon 5Dii, Nikon D300s, Nikon D300.   Multiple lenses and lighting
equipment.

So if you would like to chat about photography or pass on any ideas that might be of interest, let me
know.  

Remember to smile, someone might be taking your photograph.
