He developed a love for photography during his first international trip to England in 1996. Bill has owned numerous cameras over the years. He started with a film based Canon Rebel. Although he still owns Canon cameras, he currently uses a Nikon D810 and Nikon's 24-120 f4.0 lens for a travel camera. For the most part, he does not heavily manipulate his photographs. This is due in part to his belief that photographs should not be edited. It is also due, perhaps to a much greater extent to his general lack of knowledge of Photoshop and similar software.
