I am a chemistry professor at the University of Wyoming with a PhD from Caltech, a post doctoral stay at Bell Laboratories and have also spent time at the Solar Energy Research Institute (now called the National Renewable Energy Laboratory). I have had a very successful scientific career doing mostly research on the development of solar energy (also related to light). I have won research awards, published over 250 scientific articles and was inducted as a fellow of several scientific societies including the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
I have been a member of various photography groups and at one time had a one man show of large format black and white images and contributions to group and juried shows and a recent show of the lichen series. I was not very active in the photography scene for many years due to career and family raising taking most of my time but in the last few years have devoted much more of my energy towards artistic endeavors as I near retirement.
