In Palm Beach County Florida , in 80's i took some film classes at the Community School Programs,where I first developed my own prints. At Palm Beach Jr. College, now Palm Beach State College added some excellent professional classes and professors and at Palm Beach Photographic Workshop I took a class from Ruth Bernhard, known for female nudes in boxes and attended lectures by Mary Ellen Mark, photojournalist and many others. I picked up learning digital photography since 2013 when I joined a teaching photography club, Hampton Roads Digital Photography Club, Hampton Virginia which has been a blessing and inspiration to me, In late 2000's I attended Thomas Nelson Community College and added 4 more professional classes to the resume. I continue to practice daily. My mother is probably the biggest influence on my early photography.. I am grateful for all those in the past and future for the many education opportunities I have encountered.
