Welcome Visitors. My name is Chris Hetlage. I am a photographer and hobbyist. I live in Greensboro Georgia, between Atlanta and Augusta, on Lake Oconee. I created this site to showcase my works.
To make a buck I own and operate 44Horizons Photography, a real estate and drone photography studio here at Lake Oconee. To read more about 44 Horizons click here.
Prior to 44 Horizons I worked as a Director for Cerner Corporation, a software development company specializing in clinical information systems. My team was focused on the development and implementation of electronic medical record systems. I have been involved in the development of some very exciting products over the years and I have worked at some of the most notable heath care facilities in the world.
Astrophotography has been my primary after-hours interest, one of my MANY hobbies (as my wife would say). Golf, scuba diving, reef aquaria, woodworking, home theater systems, and photography are a few of my other interests. It’s interesting to meet others in this field, seems I am not alone when it comes to many toys and hobbies.
My Trek
Photography has always been a passion of mine. As far back as I can remember I have always been the ‘camera-man’ in our family. When I was in 4th grade my Dad bought me a small intro kit to developing film/prints. All it did was contact prints but I had a lot of fun in the hallway closet making little prints. When I was in 7th grade my Mom had our basement finished off and she had the contractors build me a beautiful darkroom. As I grew, my interest moved into more extreme photography mediums, including astrophotography, underwater photography and macro photography.
In the future I plan on adding some pages to my site that details some of my equipment and approaches to my photographic processes. In the mean time thanks again for visiting my site and clear skies!
