Hello and welcome to my world of Photography powered by SmugMug.

I have used Nikon equipment since I rewarded myself with an F2 and 50mm lens to celebrate my university graduation and my first "real" job. It still functions after 35 years.

Currently, my camera bag includes Nikon D300 and D700 bodies accompanied by my favorite Nikkor lenses: 14-24mm f2.8 AF-s, 24-70mm f2.8 AF-s, 70-200mm f2.8 AF-s VR and 85mm f1.4.

You will find me and my gear in the Pacific Northwest exploring the mountains, seashores, streams and forests that I have called home my entire life.

Or, a more recent passion is shooting at music venues. This is a challenging genre because of the lighting and trying to capture a performer's essence. I am the house photographer at the Mt. Baker Blues Festival and am a contract concert photographer for the Seattle Weekly. Best seat in the house. My images also appear on Ten Years After's websites: http://www.ten-years-after.com/tour2008/seattle08/judytilley.htm and http://www.tenyearsafternow.com/tya/seattle.htm

A very enjoyable, very part-time job I have is photographing Ben Mann's paintings for his website: http://www.mann-alive.com/. Brilliant and whimsical, they will brighten your home and outlook.

I add new images almost weekly so the welcome mat is always out for you to visit. Or, if you want a photo of a special place in the Pacific Northwest, please let me know and I will get the the shot.

Smugmug offers those of us with Pro accounts the choice to use a Professional Lab. Bay Photo costs more but they hand correct each image which I believe is essential to a great print.
