"I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term-meaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching-there would be a vast improvement in total output. The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster. We must remember that a photograph can hold as much as we put into it, and no one has ever approached the full possibilities of the medium"

ALL OF THE PHOTOS I HAVE POSTED ARE COPYRIGHTED AND MAY NOT BE REPOSTED OR REPRODUCED IN ANY WAY. I WILL VIGOROUSLY PROSECUTE ANY OFFENDERS.

I use Pentax, Olympus, Panasonic and Canon digital cameras. I shoot film with a Leica M2, Pentax MX, Rolleicord V and Mamiya C3.

I also curate the photo collection of my late brother-in-law Richard Drozda 1940-2016.

Thanks for over 2,600,000 visits to my pages. I appreciate your interest and thankful for all of the kind comments. There are so many gifted photographers on Flickr. It is humbling to see so many of you appreciating my, and my brother-in-laws, work.
