Background
I have been a photographer since 1973. My father dabbled in photography from the late 40's through the late 60's and I began dabbling when he quit. My early work was almost entirely black and white (B&W). During this time, I developed and printed all of my own images. Most of my work through the 70's is 220-format B&W landscapes and abstracts. From the late 80's to the present, I have been working with color. Until 2000, I was dependent on labs to a large extent to develop and print my images. However, in 2000, I bought my first digital camera. For me, the experience was akin to my introduction to the personal computer, a new venue for exploration.

I am currently a systems engineer. However, like most of my paths, this too was winding. I began working for a living as a pedant, teaching regular students, special education students, and gifted students ranging from grade school age to adults. Subsequently, I began working as an engineer, writing software for air traffic control systems. I hope to explore one more career.
