New: Presentation on Google's Picasa for Hendersonville Camera Club here.
Welcome!
Digital Expressions brings together my love for photography and the new digital world in a way that compliments each other. Delivering high quality photos and art to the web or to a frame is what this site is all about.
With this site, I've been able to combine my love of the outdoors, photography, and my full-time career as computer programmer.
I've always lived in God's country, the mountains of the central Appalachians, and I currently call Henderson County, North Carolina home. Nearby, I have access to numerous scenes, including the Blue Ridge Parkway, DuPont State Forest, and Pisgah National Forest. Following a life long fascination for waterfalls, I enjoy "hunting" them with my camera throughout the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Enjoy your visit here at Digital Expressions. And if you have any comments, please be sure to drop me a note!
