Behind the Camera
Since picking up my first Polaroid Swinger Camera in Rochester, NY. back in 1967 I knew I was hooked. Graduating to an Argus C3 film camera was a natural step up from the polaroid camera. The darkroom experience and the mystique that goes with it is almost something that does not exist at present. I am fortunate to have experienced this world. The years working with film have made me a better photographer. Fast forward 25 years, and my studio is nearly 100% digital. I will forever hang on to my Nikon F3 and view cameras.
My career in photography has put me in wonderful places around the world, allowed me to meet and work with great talents, and photograph some truly innovative products made by individuals, small companies, and large corporations. Photography is a collaboration with people and their ideas. It is this that I truly enjoy. Putting a person at ease for a portrait that shows their true personality or photographing a still life that comes alive is what I strive to do in my photography and your photography.
