Bio
Keith is a local nature photographer, photographic instructor, past
ELCC president and exhibition committee chair.
His extensive background in photography started with traditional black & white darkroom work, continued through college in a professional studio specializing in portraits, weddings and commercial photography and has continued with his passion for nature photography and education.
With an academic background in computer science, the marriage
of computing and digital photography came easily. Keith took advantage of this to become a digital post processing specialist and
instructor. His special areas of interest in photography are wildlife
and nature photography, but is happy photographing the night
sky, macro work and landscapes.
He retired from a career managing software development for national security systems at Sandia National Labs in early 2017, now enjoying full time retirement and the rewards of family.
Lance Keimig Bio

Keimig is also a co-owner of the annual Nightscaper and Night Photo Summit photo conferences. He has taught night photography and led international photo tours since 1998.
