I spent my childhood on Otsego Lake, enjoying all it has to offer from fishing and water skiing to sailing, canoeing, even scuba diving. I've explored nearly every inch of the shoreline, built a number of homes on its banks, and I continue to offer my well-rounded knowledge of the Cooperstown area as a NYS licensed Real Estate agent. My love with photography began forty years ago when my soon-to-be wife presented me with my first camera as a wedding gift. Seven years ago I began building and experimenting with sUas (small Unmanned aerial systems as defined by the FAA), otherwise known as drones. I continue to update my fleet with the latest and best technology. Many of my images are comprised of multi-captures. In some cases< i'll take more than a hundred overlapping images to create large, high quality panoramas. Panoramas, which fully capture a 360 degree scene, can be presented as "flat" very wide representations, or the image data can be manipulated to create unique views referred to as "little planets" or "tiny planets". These unusual and interesting views are popular as each one compresses an entire vista into a compact, manageable image size. I hope you'll enjoy my work as much as I do creating it.
