My Dad gave me my first camera (Kodak Bantam) as we were about to fly from San Francisco to NYC when I was 13 (1955). I shot rolls and rolls of Kodachrome slides on that trip and it was the beginning of a love affair with photography. In college I discovered the joys of darkroom printing and eventually when I graduated I built a darkroom in my apartments. But it wasn’t until the digital era that I discovered the artist in me and today my passion for producing artistic images is as great as ever at age 78. I look forward to spending time in this network, sharing and learning.
