It seems that I have always had an interest in photography, cameras, telescopes, astronomy, and of course trains. My father was a photographer in the U.S. Navy in the latter part of WWII-I have the Speed Graphic camera he used-so one may surmise that photography is in my blood... I took all the classes in photography I could in both high school and college and at one point had a small home darkroom for developing and printing B&W... I was hesitant at first to embrace the "new" technology of digital photography but once I finally took the plunge, I found that this technology increased my level of creativity. While there are those who may scoff at digital work, or the idea of manipulating the image digitally and offer that it is not "right", (this is an old and I feel pointless debate as there is no "right" answer) I do not have a problem with manipulating an image and trying to get every bit of information present and show it in the best possible manner.
