I am interested in most things and always trying to learn more. I am now going through a great change in my life. Having worked most of my time printing other peoples pictures and selling other peoples music. I am now trying to push my own creative effort forward through photography, writing and a few short films. It is a scary thing to do at my age, not young ,but not old and still having to make a living. My favorite thing to do is share with others what I know and to learn from them the things I do not know. Photography is something that has been a big part of my life since I was 5 years old. I bought a Kodak box camera at a thrift store for .75 cents. Later I bought a Kodak Monitor that I used for years. I first started developing and printing my own photographs when I was 12 years old. I also love the history of photography and history in general. I moved onto 35mm and then to digital in 2003. 10 years as a custom printer and I never stopped taking photos. Since I am picky about how my photos are printed. I am happy that we all can scan and with Photoshop share our photos with the World. So far I have only just started to get into the archives and the archives are deep. Every road trip I have gone on in the last 30 years. The main thing I did was document the journey. I do believe the journey is the thing. I hope to share my passion for photography with anyone who might be interested. I do consider myself a photographer and have always done things differently than the standard. I earned my living doing many things other than photography. Most pro-photographers shoot stock or personal photos while on assignment. All of my photos are personal. I have shot weddings and portraits as favors for friends. I just hope that other people like the photographs I have taken along my journey's. I now have to figure out how to sell and share the many 1000's of photographs. Like many creative people I tend to have a rather rusty sense of business. I am glad to accept help and or opinions, drop me a line. I'm friendly and like to talk
