I call it "Photo Op" because everything I shoot is just that, a "Photo Op" . . . . whatever is available to shoot when I happen to be there - a Photo Opportunity. However. I may change my thought process at a later date. . . . . . . . .

GRADUATE: New York Institute of Photography - Intense Photojournalism.

I began shooting as a young teenager (1968 or so) with a Kodak 110 Instamatic. My professional photographic career began as a police "Crime Scene" photographer, not only shooting, but developing film, learning and working in the black & white and color darkrooms.

I enjoy looking for a fellow photographer/shooter - the TRUE Storytellers. I like to watch a camera being directed toward a possible story to tell or being told.

IN MY BAG: Canon EOS 1D X; Canon EOS 1D Mark II; Canon EOS 40D (minus one or two

strapped on my shoulders at any given time).
