Bugwalks is officially my new home on the internet. I am glad you stopped by for a visit!
My goal with Bugwalks is to share my longtime interest in photography and offer up some useful information on travel photography, experiences, techniques, locations and composition. I will post occasional articles as subjects present themselves as well as carry over the articles written for the SeeSystems web site

Cheers and safe travels!
