Photography is a natural motivator for kids. My students and I used some of the very early digital cameras and enjoyed the evolution of them as they captured images of people, bugs, architecture, science experiments, and much more. I was fascinated with how even reluctant students would write volumes about the images they captured as if they were compelled to explain what this little slice of time meant to them.

I retired in 2006 and decided to take my own interest in photography to the next level and I've been learning and practicing ever since. I enjoy photographing everything, always looking for that image that clearly defines a person, a place, or a thing. Often it’s just capturing an image that describes an ordinary thing in an extraordinary manner.

I have been a Partner at Image City Photography Gallery on University Ave., Rochester, NY, for the past 12 years and I enjoy making mostly architectural images, but occasionally strays into some street work and portraiture.

Welcome to the forum, Don. Enjoy yourself and post often. Because of UHH, I find myself thinking up projects or viewing other post and trying my hand at something new. With the COVID lockdown I focused on backyard photography for some time. Never thought I'd take hundreds of photos in my backyard. Actually, probably closer to 1000. I doubt that would have happened without UHH as a place to post them.

Welcome to UHH. Please post photos and responses that support viewpoint and experience. There's a phenomenal wealth of diversity among the participants here.

Rochester, I'll never forget my 4 years there at RIT. And, I understand that the cold winters I experienced have greatly moderated over the recent decades. Many great 'vintage' homes and other architectural photo opportunities in your area. Looking forward to seeing them.
