An occasional photographer of family and friends since 1980, Lou became a semi-serious photographer in 2006 and upgraded to a Sony Digital SLR. It was in that same year he retired from 40+ years of playing and coaching sports to dedicate his time to photography. A freelance photographer, he has experience photographing a wide array of sports. His experience playing and coaching various sports has provided him a unique ability to anticipate the action and capture unique shots. His images can be seen at www.LouRaimondi.com.

In 2008, Lou's children gave him a membership in the Roswell Photographic Society as a Father's Day gift. Lou credits his membership in RPS for bringing his images to the level of acceptance in juried exhibits and for allowing him to develop his photographic skills in other areas such as: nature, landscape, architecture and people.

Lou is the UPS.com User Experience Manager in the Interactive Communications Group at UPS. He lives here in Roswell with his wife, Cindy, and their four children: Ashley, Ben, Carrie and Christopher.
