Gary has had a love affair with the camera since he enlisted in the U.S. Navy SEABEES, in 1973. He started out with a Yashica 35 mm SLR. As the years went on, he added lenses, filters, tripods. Always learning, with the desire to always improve, Gary spent years shooting images everywhere he went. Some of his favorite subjects have been race cars and the equine community, along with sunrises and sunsets. He also enjoys motorcycle events, wildlife, and barns.
