I’ve now been retired from Merck for three years. I worked at Merck in Rahway, New Jersey; Boulder, Colorado; and West Point, Pennsylvania for over 27 years. In the three years since I retired I have visited 27 different countries (several more than once) and 44 states. I have been at sea for two Semester at Sea, Enrichment Voyages; two Semester at Sea, Semester Voyages; and two Hurtigruten voyages (one in Norway, and one to Antarctica). I also returned to Argentina and Chile for a photography trip with Thom Hogan, and did two Iceland photography safari’s (one summer, one winter) with Mike Hagen. During this time I have taken over 800K images. Not all of the images have made it into my posts yet…

I am a scientist by training (Eckerd College, BSc; Caltech, Ph.D.). I worked for 27 years as a Chemist in the Pharmaceutical Industry developing processes to manufacture medicines for human and animal health. I now spend my time as a photographer and world traveler. My interests include the natural world, wildlife, landscapes, sky, and seascapes, travel, and astrophotography. I look for unique ways of viewing the world and presenting my images. I have traveled to over 55 countries in six continents, often on Semester at Sea voyages. While at home in New Jersey, I spend time on home renovation and expansion of a wildflower garden/meadow.

Think of all the things you have done in 3 years. You have had a very blest life. Proud of you for the 27 years at Merck. Aunt Mary
