Roy entered the world of photography as a hobbyist in 1972 with a pair of Konica AutoReflex SLRs and 4 lenses - still in excellent condition. His early adventures mostly involved travel photography, including photo expeditions to Kenya and Tanzania. After many years as a casual shooter, Roy shifted into semi-professional outdoor photography with an emphasis on the Potomac River in the Washington, D.C., area. In 2005 he published his first coffee table photography book, "Our Potomac, from Great Falls to Washington, D.C." In 2005 Roy switched from his Nikon film system to a high-end Canon digital system, including the EOS 1Ds Mark II, 24-70/2.8L, 70-200/2.8L IS, and 17-40/4.0L. He uses the latest version of PhotoShop and an Epson 2200 printer. "The switch from Nikon to Canon was a difficult decision," says Roy. "I was very happy with my Nikon F5 and had a considerable investment in lenses. However, Canon’s full-size image sensor on the 1Ds Mark II was the pivotal issue. I really miss Nikon’s more intuitive user interface. But the Mark II’s images are simply magnificent." Roy has worked in engineering, management, and business development for General Electric, Booz Allen Applied Research, Fairchild, and Orbital Sciences. In addition to his commercial and book photography, he now provides business development consulting services from his home office. .
