“Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.”

― Henri Cartier-Bresson

 

I was born in 1955.

I do photography for fun.

When I started teaching, at Temple and then University of Pennsylvania, I was strongly encouraged to learn macro photography.

First camera was a Canon AE-1 that had belonged to my father. I used a Vivitar lens, extension tubes and a ring flash.

 

When I bought my first Digital Rebel... well, I was hooked. Within a year, I got a used 200 mm f2.8 prime. Oh my, now I was addicted!

Some photos are from vacations. Some were shot in Philadelphia. The vast majority are from Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
