I've been a photographer for 60 years, beginning in my early teens. My Dad introduced me to the wonders of the darkroom and I haven't looked back since.
My entire life has been centered around photography - teaching private classes, teaching at a tech school, 25 years as an advertising/industrial photographer, and finally 15 years teaching at the community college level.
Although I shoot quite a bit with digital cameras now, film photography is where my heart lies.
