2022 is my 60th year of photography. For my eleventh birthday, my great aunt gave me a Kodak Brownie Starflash, two packages of flashbulbs, and five rolls of black & white Kodak film. This was May 22, 1961. The rest, as they say, is history or destiny. Perhaps both. Over those many years, I have been blessed to have many mentors and workshop instructors who have kindly shared their knowledge and inspiration. I have also been truly blessed to share a large community of friends and fellow Photographers, all of them my mentors simply by proximity and osmosis being around their incredible talents and hanging out together.
