Occupaion: Retired Interests: Photography, family history Biography: 29 September 2011
My first interest in photography was inspired by a photographer who had a studio above my fathers office. Had dad been willing, I think the photographer would have taken under his wing, but dad felt I would be in the way.
My uncle did his own developing and started me in that direction when I was a teenager. Unfortunately, the cost of film and developing during college and later the cost of raising a family pretty well separated me from that interest.
Now that I have a digital camera, (Cannon A659 PowerShot) I hope to start learning how to use it effectively. I would really like to learn to do portraits. Website:
