I am 80 years old and have been taking pictures since I was 10 years old. Served in Korean War on Okinawa. Planned and designed highways for CalTrans for 38 years. A large amount of my pictures were taken in San Francisco. I am a member of a world wide photo club (PhotoSig) where I have about 800 photos. People critique my photos and I critique theirs.
