I have been taking photographs since 1964 (yeah I know) and oaccasionally you get a special shot, something that captures the imagination or illustrates the occasion. I have looked through the 100,000 plus images I have taken over the years ( yeah I know) and selected a few that I like, I hope you do too! I try to change this every-so-often to keep you coming back, so please do do.
Just click on the image below for my portfolio.
It was back in 1964 that my grandfather Art gave me my first camera. Since then, I have taken over 100,000 images and I am still practicing with the shutter button.
Some of those very first photos were of my thumb or forefinger but I learned though practice and perseverance. I eventually setup my own darkroom to process film and color slides and to print black and white photos. Much of my restoration work today is my own photography that has been preserved in archival sleaves, never to be seen or printed until now.
Currently, I shoot digital images using several cameras including the Nikon D810, Fujifilm x-t3, Sony RX100 V and yes, my cell the Samsung Galaxy 8+ and do post-production with a Wacom Cintiq connected to a very fast homemade computer using Lightroom and Photoshop.
I have always been thankful for those individuals who care enough to encourage someone to step out, learn something new and to explore their creative boundaries. So a special thanks to my dad's dad for this inspiration and the means to get a great hobby started.
