"I have lived in the Rogue Valley since 1988, when I retired from teaching special education for the Curry County Education Service District. My interest in photography dates from my teens; my interest in computers began in about 1983; and I have been producing Web sites for about three years.

"I was just thinking today, as I stopped to look at some buds on a bush near my home, that until I started the Greenway Web site and the Lithia Park Web site, I never would have stopped to look at buds. I have learned a lot from doing these sites, and I hope everyone who looks at them learns a lot also."

Particularly sought are photos of bike riders and skaters who are wearing helmets, and school classes studying Greenway features.
