My interest in photography began when I was in the 7th grade in Los Angeles, California. Getting married when I was only 19 and becoming a father at 20 interrupted my career plan to be a photographer. Many years later after several interesting careers, I was able to return to the one I loved most, photography. With our four sons now grown and gone, we bought a 5th wheel travel trailer and developed clients from Yellowstone National Park in the summer, working our way down to Tucson Arizona in the winter.
Our clients included Mariott Hotels, Hampton Inns, Best Western's, Choice Hotels, Holiday Inns and many independent resort properties. I shot images for their brochures, web sites, marketing departments and for some of larger clients, began creating Videos for use by their sales personnel.
Twelve years in a trailer was enough for my wife and she told me she wanted to settle down in one place, with one church and opportunities to do volunteer work. After considering many U.S. cities we found many that were great in the summer but cold in the winter or others that were warm in the winter but hot and humid in the summer. After hours and hours on the internet, we saw small towns, located at 5000 ft. along the shore of a large lake in Mexico and decided to have a look. After a weeks visit, we were hooked and now continue to love our home on the shores of Lake Chapala Ajijic, Mexico
I have recently published a new book, titled, "The Secret of Golconda". It tells the story of a young family's 15 year struggle to build a rustic, lake side, fishing camp, high in the Colorado Rockies, into a modern year around destination resort. If you enjoyed "Little house on the prairie, you might also enjoy this book. If you like to read, check it out by clicking on this link. The Secret of Golconda. You can first read a preview and then purchase it if you like. The book is $7.99 and downloadable to your Kindle or your PC or Mac.
Today, I'm 76 years old and live happily at Lake Chapala Mexico with my wife of 56 years. We live in a beautiful complex of four homes, shown below, with a beautiful interior garden, a swimming pool and an outdoor palapa for entertaining.
