Alan Engard shares his wife’s passion for photography. Having spent most of his life in Costa Mesa, California he enjoys traveling and sharing the wonders of the world with others. You will find Alan’s photographs from Africa, New Zealand, Alaska and here in the US.

A year before Alan’s "once it a lifetime" 2004 Africa trip he bought a new digital SLR camera and excellent zoom lens. Learning and experimenting with the new equipment began his fascination with photographic art. In particular the I of the Storm image captured in Hawaii sealed his fate in pursuing more photographic experiences.

His day job keeps him busy in the world of technology. Currently, Alan is the Information Technology Director for the Newport-Mesa Unified School District.

It is encouraging to find a couple who have enjoyed the technical side of life, now growing together as they expand their artistic side.
