Picked up my dad's late 50's vintage Ricoh 35mm rangefinder decades ago & taught myself. Shot lots of color negative/chrome film for fun & lots of black & white (including processing/printing) for the local newspaper back in the 70's. I have no conscious agenda or subject matter preference. I love it all & capture whatever catches my eye, heart, & soul. It's all good, & I suppose I tend toward abstraction, oddity, graphic statements....
