I’m a retired worker bee from long years in the marine field. My first civilian job out of the Navy in 1970 was working at the camera shop for my father. My passion from an early age was sailing, but what I needed was a paying job, and so in order to avoid embarrassment I soon had to learn the ropes. Photography was far from my main interest then, but over the years I gained an appreciation for how design of all forms and photography are closely interrelated as an art form.
