Hello, I'm Dan. In oculis animus habitat. Love that phrase.
In 1974 my father gave me a 1957 Ricoh '35' S he had purchased while he was in the Navy serving in the South Pacific - and a roll of Tri-x film. I haven't stopped taking pictures since. I took photography classes in high school and contributed to our yearbooks - my first 'published' photographs. I went on to become a military photographer (Army) and studied Art/Photography at Virginia Commonwealth University. After my tour of duty I worked for a studio that was one of the 'official' photographers of the Green Bay Packers. I am currently a freelance photogrpher, shooting for the sheer joy of the creative process. Occasionally I get to attend a local class and speak to graduating HS students that are interested in pursuing photography as a career. My interests include sports, of course, portraits, animals and wildlife, landscape photography and my grandsons. I still have that Ricoh 35...it is displayed in my collection of vintage cameras. I won a couple of awards with it and it still takes amazing photos!
In closing, a few words to live by - Dr. Suess said it best: 'Be who you are and say what you feel, because those that mind don't matter, and those that matter, don't mind.'

Wise words. I live near you in Waukesha, WI. Moved here about a year ago. Used to live around here back in the 1980's.
