My photographic history is much too long for a forum post but here's a synopsis:

Devoured National Geographic wildlife stories as a child, especially Fredrick Kent Truslow's photos
Took a photography class in High School
Bought a used Nikon F
Borrowed a 300mm f/4.5 Nikkor for a field workshop and fell in love with wildlife photography (see Audubon magazine September 1974 inside front cover) then bought my own 300mm lens
Career & family put photography on the back burner
When kids were grown I found my photo equipment was hopelessly outdated, not fond of the huge bulk and Rube Goldberg approach to AF of DLSRs so I waited for mirrorless to become viable
the rest is history: a7II, a7rII, a7rIII, 600 GM, a1
