I began photographing "things",and i do mean "things" as a child.I started with a Brownie box Camera,and shot objects which meant everything to me at the time;parents,family dog,t.v. cartoons,etc.Little did i know the essence of photography.I was just making "copies",things that i could refer back to.I really became a photographer while stationed overseas in England,where i purchased a Nikon f2N in 1972,and began capturing wonderful images.Tutored by a friend,i became quit good,and actually won 3rd place in a local English Kodak Contest.Now i shoot digital,and shoot weddings,landscapes,events,people,everything! I can't seem to stop loving the camera,and plan on doing photos for life.
