About

Quokka is the trigger for my photography. Not the reason.  

I took up the hobby over forty years ago with a Pentax K1000 and a class in college. But when class ended, so did that hobby. Even now, with a camera on my phone, I don’t take many pictures. That changed when we adopted a cute two-legged puppy. I used the phone on my camera a lot. She’s on Instagram and Facebook. There are links at the bottom of the page if you want daily pictures and occasional short video clips.  

But taking so many pictures made me want to take pictures again. With a camera, not a phone. To get back to learning and exploring photography like I did back in class just the other decade.  

Thanks to ebay, my SLR is digital. Only a 12MP Canon EOS 450D for now, but with three lenses, I can save for a newer used EOS body. I don’t have to rent a darkroom in the back of a photo shop. I’ve been renting Photoshop for years. And I have the Internet to teach me more.  

Quokka Pup is on social media. This page is for my photography, regardless if there's a cute pup in the photo. Please enjoy!
