Received an Argus C3 for my 14th birthday and have been shooting ever since. Currently (2011) working with Nikon digital equipment . Was a General Member of ASMP (Washington DC Chapter) and selling stock travel photos in the early 1990's until my day job ate my photography sideline. Competent in French and spend as much time in France as possible--recently 3-4 trips per year. Very fond of Italy as well although not as secure a command of Italian. Retired in 2011 after 40+ years of practice as a lawyer in Washington, DC.
