Portraits Photography
camera was a Kodak Instamatic. I didn't have a strong interest in
photography at the time; my interest was more inclined to the
outdoors. As my explorations continued, I became more intimate with
nature. As I began to see more moments I wanted to capture on film, the
more I wanted to capture them.From that point, I began to purchase photography books, study camera
equipment, and in 1980, began a more serious approach toward
photography. I purchased
one of the early Nikon cameras with a few, basic lenses. I quickly
became the annual photographer for the high school, and subsequently
became a special
occasion and wedding photographer. Photography courses helped in
learning the basics and art courses helped in my artistic expression. I
went through the
drawing phase and the oil painting phase, but quickly returned to
photography as my main 'focus'. My first photo essay, which I had
completed for a
photojournalism course, was also accepted by the local newspaper and was
printed in a two-page spread.
