Photography has been part of my life on and off for more than 40 years. I first learned this creative art when I was living in San Miguel de Allende in Guanajuato, Mexico in the 1970s. There, I studied art, photography, and Spanish at the Instituto Allende, and had my first encounter with black and white photography. I learned to develop film and to work inside a darkroom. Composition and lighting were my guideposts... In the late 1980s and early 1990s I studied with the renown photography and teacher, John Upton. I learned about studio lighting and portrait photography. It was then that I also fell in love with the environmental portraiture genre.
