I am just an advid landscape and nature photographer residing in Northwest Indiana. I got into photography about four to five years ago with the purchase of Sony point and shoot camera to take pictures of the grandkids. But soon after that I found my calling with nature and landscape photography which is now my passion. After several cameras later I now use a Nikon D80 and few nice lenes. Currently I specialize in nature and landscape photography in Northwest Indiana which is home to the Indiana Dunes National Lake Shore, Northwest Indiana’s Crown Jewell. Nikon D80 Nikon 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6 Sigma 50mm F2.8 Manfrotto 190PRO Tripod & 484RC2 Ball Head In closing it’s a beautiful world out there just waiting for the moment to be captured. Thank you for visiting. http://curtiss.smugmug.com/Other/My-Smug-Mug/DSC0023-1/624807791_M2Vzc-Ti.jpg http://curtiss.smugmug.com/ 2009-11-10T12:18:00Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
