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
I hope you find what I offer here useful and please feel free to ask questions or make suggestions (use the email link to the left). I would love hearing from you and welcome any input.
Cheers and safe travels!
