Occupaion: Retired Interests: Fine art Photography Biography: I am a retired construction manager/estimator that has a lifelong passion for photography.
It started when my mother, through S&H green stamps, gave me a ANSCO camera back in '57. During my working years I took progress photo's for my company which were uploaded for it's site. In my late 20's I took wedding photo's to help suppliment my income.

In 2010, my company and I re-modeled Allens Art Center in Philadelphia. As project manager, I got to know the center's director and some teachers that encourged me to display my photo's for their art show with three other photographers. The show ran a month and I am proud to say that my work outsold the others by $1700 to $100. The center earn 35% of the sales and I have been invited to be member of their Art committee this year.

I process my digital negatives through Elements 7 and enhance them through Corel Painter.
