Guy Biechele

I live in the rural New England town of Athol, Massachusetts with my wife, and our two teenage children.  During my career as a craftsman/woodworker, I have built guitars, harpsichords, and fine furniture.  I am currently
employed as a manager for a company that makes both reproduction Shaker, and  reproduction colonial furniture.

My interest in photography began during the time I was in college, majoring in natural resource conservation.  I was involved in many outdoor activities, and found myself drawn to landscape/nature photography.  Over
the years I continued to take pictures, but not with the same passion.  This passion was rekindled about a year and a half ago when I took a course in advanced digital imaging at a local college, and subsequently purchased a
Nikon CP800.  Since then, my 35mm camera has been gathering dust.

My favorite subjects are landscapes, nature, and abstracts.  However, no subject is safe from me, if I have camera in hand.  I really enjoy the instant feedback that you get with a digital camera.  I know right away if the shot came out, or if there seems to be a better way to shoot it.  This way I can make more of the "moment".
