I have been a photographer since i was 8 years old (35 + yrs). My father worked in a photo processing plant at that time. I use to run around the plant and figure out how things worked. As a teenager I had my own B&W equipment in a converted bath room. I used to sell pictures of the cheerleaders, jocks, band and drill team to the parents of said groups; to keep me in film an chemicals. Just celebrated my 25th yr in medical imaging. But i always return to my first love-PHOTOGRAPHY !
