About user:
Occupaion: Marketing, Sales & Customer Service Interests: Writing, Traveling, Macro Photography, making new friend. Biography: Born in Utah Valley to goodly parents, in a small community nestled below the spiring peak of Mount Timpanogos.
Eldest of 4 surviving children.
Father was an administrative officer for the U.S. Forrest Service and as such, relocated nearly as often as a military brat. Luckily the transfers were confined to Idaho, Utah and Nevada. I love the West, yet would never want to live in California. (It is going to fall into the Pacific Ocean one day!)
Became interested in Photography at an early age. My first Camera was a fixed lens Brownie Box Camera!
Served as my high school's photographer for the school NewsPaper and also did much of the sports and club photography for the school yearbook the 3 years I was there. (back then it was all film & primarily Black and White) I processed all my own photography shots in the school darkroom.
I used my father's 35mm SLR Petri Camera until I wore it out. Then I purchased a Twin-Lens reflex 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 made by Mamiya Sekor. I enjoyed the larger film format along with my 175mm telephoto lens. That camera captured some great images in it's day.
Some years after losing the use of high school dark room facilities, I bought a Hasselblad, also in a 2 1/4 squared film format, and began taking wedding pictures to help pay my fees for attending Idaho State University for a higher education. Once I graduated, I stopped doing weddings for the most part, as I grew weary of having to deal with the mother's of the brides! That almost was enough for me to give up on photography all together!
Now I am transitioning from film to digital. I LOVE DIGITAL!!! What took hours, and sometimes days to accomplish in a darkroom
can be done so much more efficiently and with much less time and frustration invested, using software like Light Room and Photoshop.
I am engaged in working through the professional photography course offered by New York Institute of Photography and am about 1/2 completed. Some of it has been review upon review of very basic photographic principles. Yet I understand one can only build a majestic and everlasting pyramid upon a complete and stalwart foundation.
Once my personal time becomes free of the family responsibilities I find myself in for the present, I hope to give myself over to travel, writing, and capturing relevant images through my digital lenses. Website: Under Consideration
