EDDIEO Loc: Pawleys Island SC

I am a retired Pro from the Washington D.C. area. I have been watching the UHH site for almost two years to learn digital photography. And, learn I haved. Most of my work was done with Hasselblab cameras, over a 35 year career. 95% of my work was medium format. I lived with the progression of color professional film since 1970, and before I gave up the ghost, I came to love Portra film. Luckly, I out lived my old Hasselblads and Kodak. I can't even imagine how many yellow boxes I have left in my wake.

Thank you Sarge. I too was a sargent in the Army. I served from 66 to 72. So you will understand: One shot one kill (plan every shot, previsulation) no spray and pray. Your first shot is your most important, sometimes you don't get a second chance. Respect you eqpt., know it inside out and keep it clean. Keep your head down and don't draw attention to yourself. The best compliment you can get from a client is "I Didn't know you took those shots." Give every client more then you promised them.

Laughing at myself, I mean Hassleblad. I still have one, but haven't used it in over 5 years.
