My adventures with photography started with my Father.
He gave me my first camera, an old Mamaya Sekor. After a
few years and many distractions it began to collect dust.
At last I picked it up again, dusted it off and began to
pursue photography with a vengeance. Eventually I decided
to go to the dark side and try out digital capture. It stared
with a Sony F717 but I soon realized that I needed much
better equipment. Faster, wider and longer lenses as well
as more megapixels. The Canon 20D allowed me to learn and explore
digital capture. I have now added the New Canon 1D Mark 111 to the fold
I eventually participated in a workshop with Arizona
Highways. It was the first time to learn from Photographers
whos images I had pondered and admired in the pages of magazines
for so many years. I came back from that trip with a renewed
enthusiasm and commitment to explore the world of photography
and to begin to master this art . Developing photographic
vision takes practice, hard work and a hefty wallet. This
is the result of that practice.
"It's important to take bad pictures.
It's the bad ones that have to do with what you've never
done before.
They can make you recognize something you hadn't seen in
a way that
will make you recognize it when you see it again."
Diane Arbus
I have created galleries of some of the amazing places
visited and the images captured in an effort
to save the moments in time that will never be exactly the
same again.
I have learned so much from many wonderful friends and
great photographers who have incredibly generous and patient- check out their sites under LINKS
