In 1975 after trying a murder case, i bought a vivitar camera and started taking photography classes through lansing community college; I am still at it; Now,after 35 years of taking photos just for me, i have jumped pell mell into photography and flikr; I enjoy photography an supply photos to various local groups in southwest michigan; However, I want to expand into photography and have a second day job (not that I don't want to still rumpole around) so, anyway, I am an amateur photographer ( i don't count the fifth of bourbon) trying to set up photography studio in kalamazoo. Have provided photographs to various high schools and other groups in kalamazoo; just trying to have fun and be creative; so far, i have not given up my day job...looking to add to it, though.
