I've been into photography since age 12. I was mysteriously drawn to it. I knew I was going to be a pro photographer all my life. I have no idea why. I knew of no other photographers and did not have any experience with them. I started my own studio at age 22 and retired extremely successfully at 50. I now do astro imaging as the ultimate challenge. In the past my studio site is www.houseofphotography.com (closed, retired and getting outdated). I also taught photographers around the world at www.PortraNET.Com many of which have also become very successful.
