I’m a dentist, practicing for the past 44 years. I sold my practice and now work for the buyers part time. I had time on my hands and thought what skills I might have to put to use. I’ve always enjoyed photography. So here I am, wanting to share with you, images from so many wonderful places I’ve been.

For me, seeing any of these SCENES that I’ve SEEN, bring back many memories. Maybe you’ve been to some of these places and they might have the same effect on you or maybe you just think these are beautiful pictures that you would like to have in your home or place of business.

I would love to, in some way, share these photos, either on Canvas, hanging on your wall or on Tile in your back splash , shower, counter top, or bar.

I was born in Shawnee Oklahoma in May of 1939 to Thomas Ray Coffey, owner of a drugstore and a professional photographer and to Edna Mae Coffey, a housewife and an artist. I guess that combination has given me the eye for photography. Attention to detail, necessary in dentistry, is also a quality necessary to compose photographs.

A long time friend, who learned photography from my father in the 40’s encouraged me to pursue this. His name is Lew Thompson, who lives in Santa Fe. He has used his knowledge of photography for most of his life as a professional photographer, doing documentaries in Europe for NBA, CBS, and ABC.

I hope you enjoy the pictures on my web site. I will be adding more in the future so come back to see what changes I’ve made. Have a great day and God Bless!
