Bruce began photography in high school with a borrowed Instamatic. He soon graduated to the Nikkormat FTN in college, and became involved with all forms of media production. He then co-founded a multimedia production company, adding the Nikon F, Leica, and Arriflex to the stable of equipment possibilities. He detoured into engineering upon discovering a talent for programming, and has returned to photography with the advent of digital imaging. He has a special affinity for the pictorialists, particularly Stieglitz, Steichen, Kasebier and the Photo-Secession, and is working to define a New Pictorialist style...
