PHOTOGRAPHY
For photography, I also use the GH7, which shoots still images at 25 megapixels, and I also have my trusty Panasonic Lumix GX8 (20 megapixels) as a backup camera.
BOOKS
One of my life goals was to write at least one book. Well, not only did I achieve that, but I managed to squeeze out three more, with a fifth in the works.
Most of my books are available on Kindle Unlimited, with some in paperback as well, and hardcover for my concepts of photography book. As for my in-progress sci-fi story, Protostar: Error in Transmission, it's a web novel you can read for free on Wattpad. New chapters are published as they're completed.

ABOUT ME
Throughout my life, I've been exposed to computer technology of one form or another, and it has certainly guided me on unique path. In my earliest days as a self-employed 2D/3D computer animator, I'd have the pleasure of creating everything from flying logos for broadcast TV and corporate video use, simulations of oil/gas equipment, to making a fully 3D animated ad for a roofing company and a skeleton that walked and sat on a couch for an award willing TV documentary.
As the world slowly became more digital, I'd end up being head instructor for a local media school, teaching their entire program which included popular applications such as Adobe's Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, and After Effects. And yes, I even taught 3D animation too. After the business closed, I would go on to teach myself software development using Java, quite popular at the time, and along with it, how to create websites in what was a budding new field at the time.
About two decades ago after a short stint at a small camera store, I would catch the photography bug, which would stay with me until this day. For a short time, I even ran a small studio out of our basement. This new found hobby would blossom into an over 35 episode YouTube series I created, where viewers could learn all about this amazing field. And if that wasn't enough, I also wrote a book on the topic.
Now if the above doesn't already sound like a lot, then allow me to add the finishing touches. My love of music would lead me into creating and self-publishing an album of 12 songs, available on numerous outlets such as iTunes and Spotify. I'd squeeze in the time to earn three degrees; a Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems (Summa Cum Laude), Master of Project Management (with Distinction), and an MBA (also with Distinction). I would also find my way back into education, spending eight years at a local polytechnic instructing courses on making websites, intro to management and marketing, and for the most part, computer literacy. Ah yes, and I'm also a competent woodworker too. Check out the shop section to see and even purchase my creations.
Presently, alongside the woodworking, I've decided to rekindle my passion for photography and content creation by revitalizing my YouTube channel. This is still in the works, but expect more photography related videos, along with woodworking ones.
