About Bob
I am a retired psychologists and having a blast. Can't say I miss the old job a bit. I do some consulting now but thankfully not in the field of psychology.

I  have had a lot of hobbies over the years but photography is one of them that has been a passion of mine since childhood. Now I'm more involved in it than ever and love it. I think photography has helped me see the world in a new light and to see things I might have otherwise not see at all. My favorite photography is nature and animal photography, at least for the moment but that could change tomorrow. One of most important rewards I received form all of my hobbies were all the great people they brought me in contact with.
I like to make things and to learn everything I can about whatever I happen to be doing.

As you can see from the pictures below I have sold most of my toys but there comes a time when replacement is necessary. This Summer I bought 3 kayaks, a tandem, and two singles for Joanie and I. You can really get close to nature in one of these things and they are great photography platforms. Having a great time with the kayaks-- fresh air, beautiful scenery, exercise and a new skill to learn
