Keith is a nature photographer living in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He started his photography journey in high school and was instantly hooked when that first black and white print appeared in the developing tray in the darkroom. That was 50+ years ago! Born and raised in Colorado, his academic background includes majors in Math, Physics and a graduate degree in Computer Science. That training led to a rewarding 34 year career in the world of Computer Science with the last 28 years working in the world of national security at Sandia National Labs in Albuquerque. Now 5 years into retirement, photography continues to play a significant role in life. For the last 20 years or so, the world of avian and wildlife photography have played a dominant role, but night, macro, time lapse and landscape photography are important components of my photographic portfolio.
