I am an explorer. I try to capture everything that is new, different and unique to my eye.
I have a long history with the camera. My first pictures were taken with a Kodak Brownie and it took my father eighteen months to get the photos developed. In junior high, I had a very brief encounter with a darkroom. In my late teens, I took a borrowed camera, two rolls of Kodachrrome and a backpack to Europe. I came home to find that I had put the same roll throught the camera twice and the other roll was blank. A few years later, a commercial printer refused to give me back my efforts citing "National Defence Security." That was ok as I was passing by those sites later that month and would print my own. But being a klutz, I managed to put camera and film into the arctic ocean. And so it goes!
Nearing retirement, I decided to take the hobby seriously and bought my first mirrorless. I was still uncomfortable with the new gear, so on my first post-retirement trip, I took a point and shoot. And came home with whole bunch of travel pictures.YICK!. I bought my first professional camera a few months ago. I thinkPat it will take about twenty years before I figure out all the buttons. No Regrets!
