I've been interested in photography since college days ... many, many years ago. Even before that I was intrigued with the darkroom my brother had in the basement when we were kids. My first camera was a Minolta 110mm film camera! After taking photojournalism classes in college I got myself a Minolta 35mm film slr. Now I use a Canon 40d dslr. If I have any kind of philosophy about art or a particular way of viewing the world - it would be to "focus" on the positive. I'm aware of the ugly side of life but I prefer to stay on "the sunny side of the street"! Hope you enjoy the photos and please comment.
