Welcome to Villa Ndio Photography! Here you will find posts and collections of photographs taken by me, Ralph (“Peppy”) Doggett, as well as a blog giving a timeline of my photography related activites. I also provide reviews of lens, cameras, other photographic equipment and accessories included in my studio. I am a semi-professional photographer who loves to travel, meet new people, and explore natural and man-made beauty, and learn techniques to continually improve my photographic knowledge and skills.
I also love to hang out with my delightful wife Kathy Hagen at our 300+ year old house in the South of France, which we named Villa Ndio after we bought her in 1994. This website is reserved for all things photography. Visit our sister websites www.villandio.net for various aspects of Villa Ndio life and times. Also visit www.katherinehagen.com to read Kathy’s blog posts with musings and reflections on personal and professional perspectives.
This site includes an ongoing photo blog displaying my most recent photos, and galleries that display collections of photos from France, particularly Southern France, and various destinations around the world. Descriptions and discussions regarding my photographic equipment are given on the Reviews pages. Visitors can see many examples of my work in the Collections section. All photos on this website may be purchased in a variety of ways (digital, hardcopy, framed, t-shirts, coffee mugs, etc.) on request. See contact information on the Contact page.
