Neal retired in 2013 from a career as a financial executive working with early-stage, venture capital financed technology companies. In retirement, he has expanded a longtime interest in photography to an active pursuit of photographing pretty much anything in nature. He is a member of the Atlanta Photography Group, the Peachtree City Photography Club, and is co-coordinator of the Griffin Chapter of the Georgia Nature Photographers Association.
One of Neal’s other interests is fly fishing, particularly in areas of western Montana and Wyoming. When fishing rivers from a drift boat, Neal usually has his camera with him safely stored in a dry bag until a photo opportunity. One fishing expedition was on Earthquake Lake on the Madison River northwest of West Yellowstone Montana. This lake is referred to as “Quake Lake” by the locals and was formed in 1959 when an earthquake caused a rock slide that partially dammed the Madison River. The scene of 65-year-old remnants of trees along the former river bank was particularly special in the early morning light and fog off the water.
