"An Eclectic Focus"

Most of my formal training in art stems from studying architecture in the early 1960’s at Pratt Institute in New York City. Courses included free-hand drawing, perspective, color theory, composition, and other training that was directly transferable to photography.

The training at Pratt Institute opened my eyes to the art world in general.

My interest in photography grew more serious when I was in the US Army and stationed in Heidelberg, Germany, from 1966 to 1968. While there, I was able to use the Army photo lab where I developed my own film, printed enlargements, and mounted the photos. To get the best of both worlds, I used two Pentax Spotmatic camera bodies with three interchangeable lenses. One camera body was used for color film; the other was used for monochrome film.

Interestingly, I learned a tremendous amount about photography by reading National Geographic where the photography is first-rate and appealed to my interests.

Most of my working life was spent in information systems. (We used to call it data processing.) I retired in January of 2006 and now have more time to devote myself to pursuing my love of photography.

Just as architecture is a wonderful blend of art and engineering, photography has proven to be a wonderful blend of art and clean technology. In the old days, there were many chemicals that were used for the processing and printing. Today, digital photography is “green,” yet it provides the same latitude as the old processes.

People have asked me what kind of photography I do. There’s no clear answer. To me, it’s the image and the feeling that count, not the genre. I see wonderful images in a variety of places, so I would not like to be restricted to a single format or category. Over time, my photography has evolved and is still evolving as I develop new concepts and see things with a different eye. The journey is exciting and rewarding.
