My love of photography started at an early age - sneaking my father's camera and taking pictures of just about everything I saw. Those first pictures were typical city shots but as time went on I turned to a wider range of subjects and found myself gravitating to nature, taking photos of trees, rocks, and landscapes. And I gave my father back his camera and bought my own... It wasn't until I was in the army that learned about the different types of cameras, started working in the dark room, and began taking classes in photography. Now photography became a passion. Maybe only another photographer will understand the excitement that comes from the lights, the film, the smell of the developing chemicals, and the magic of seeing a photo coming to life in that small dark room.
