In the early 1960's my Father purchased something that changed my life forever. . .A Polaroid camera. It was rather strange in appearance, but it was the latest and greatist in technology at the time. You could snap the shutter, and in seconds out came a picture that slowly developed in front of your eyes in just a few minutes! It was a like having a portable darkroom. Magic! That camera was a springboard into the next decade when I bought my first 35 mm SLR. As they say, the rest is history.

Color & Textures
I like to photograph things with substance. What I mean to say is that my eye is drawn towards textures and shapes in living things and inanimate objects as well. In direct sunlight you must be very aware not to burn out the highlights of the picture and cause your exposure to be too contrasty. So there is a fine line in preserving the full range of your photograph with the proper exposure. My advice is to shoot RAW images and adjust in Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom. A few examples . . . .

Doors
For some unknown reason, doors, shutters and windows have always been a favorite photographic subject of mine. The many different styles have color, texture and elements that make them unique and I imagine that is what draws my eye to them. I like to go to older downtown areas of big cities or even small towns because you never know what gem of a door you can capture through your lens eye.
