My first camera was an Olympus OM-1 in the 1970's. I was hooked. Self taught, it is a hobby I adore. Amongst my many passions, Ballet is at the top. I volunteer at the San Diego Academy of Ballet in San Diego. This Russian based school is the finest in San Diego and has produced professional quality dancers, most noteworthy, Kiril Kulish who is starring on Broadway as "Billy Elliot". Thank you for visiting my book and website.
