I have been taking pictures since the 1960's, in black and white. developing them in my darkroom.
Over a period of 5 years in the 1970's, I have done a bit of architectural photography for local real estate developers; then for the next 15 years I helped high school students create yearbooks full of photographic souvenirs.
With the advent of digital photography, I developed a longing for nature photography and street photography in an urban setting.
