Hmm. About Me. What to say…
I currently live in Washington State but grew up in Gaithersburg, Maryland. My Grandmother, whom we lost last year 10 days shy of her 99th birthday, made her living as a portrait photographer. She retired in the early 80′s after a 40 year career. I learned black and white processing from her and basic lighting. She gave me a 4×5 view camera which I used for years. Now, I’m using Canon 35mm digital and film cameras. One of her instructors, Floyd Lee, was still in the business when I was first learning from my Grandmother. Floyd owned Floyd Lee Color Lab in Seattle. I can’t say that I studied under him, but I certainly had some interesting conversations with him. I took a several year hiatus from photography to study music and work in the computer field. I returned and completed the Professional Photography Course from the New York Institute of Photography. Though I enjoy child photography,as she did and as I have two of my own, I find I enjoy outdoor photography even more. I love to hike and bike in the mountains as I search for new areas to photograph.
