Hello, I am Don
« on: April 02, 2023, 23:53:07 »
Thank you for having me.
I started with a Coolpix 950 before the turn of the new Millenia.
D1x, D2x, D3, Df, D7200, D750, D850 - Nikkors and Zeiss
I have been working professionally since 1986 and from 1998 I have been a full time Museum photographer.

Thank you all for your kind welcome!
The Museum job requires me to be a jack of all trades, studio macro work with artifacts one day, portraits the next, location work after that...
My "fun" work for the past few years has been working a bluegrass festival! I will show you a couple of those...

Excellent photos, Don!  Welcome.
