My name is Doug Casada, welcome to my photography website! I am an environmental chemist living in Mt Vernon, Illinois, which is east of St Louis, Missouri. I have been interested in photography for a number of years. To me, photography is the perfect union of science and art.

I consider myself to be an advanced hobbyist/freelance photographer. I have a number of areas that I specialize in, including aviation, hot air ballooning, florals and macros, and landscapes. I invite you to take a look around my site and enjoy. Email me if you have any questions or comments.

If you enjoy my aviation photos and want to see more work, please check out my companion site, http://www.checksixphotography.com/, which is a collaboration between four good friends and like minded aviation nuts!

I value feedback from visitors so if you feel an image is particularly worthwhile, I'd love a comment or a critique below that particular image or in the guestbook section. Please visit as often as you like and I hope you see something you'd like to have hanging on your wall (or on a mug, a shirt, a mouse pad or other display item.) Thank you for visiting, I hope you enjoy your stay!
