My first camera in 1978 opened my eyes to the art of seeing. A memorable nine-month trip around the world in 1981 revealed wonders of New Zealand, Nepal, Norway, France, and Switzerland on color slide film. I moved home base from California to Washington in 1982. My admiration of powerful wilderness images motivated getting published in magazines and books starting in 1987. In 1997, I married my best friend Carol and also created this website, PhotoSeek.com. After 2003, replacing 35mm film with a digital camera rejuvenated my photography with instant feedback and better capture of dim and high-contrast light. In 2008, sharp image-stabilized lenses freed my creativity from previous tripod constraints. Rapid camera improvements drive me to update personal camera gear about every 3 years. My inner geek hereby recommends the latest portable cameras best for travel.
