Photographics - the class in high school that got me started in photography and commercial printing

 

Welcome.  I started photography way back in high school with my dad's 1950s Kodak Retina 1b camera and a hand-held light meter.  Black and white film and color transparencies were my primary mediums of choice, I developed, printed, and framed all of my work.  I am a late-comer to the digital world of photography.  The medium is different, but the concepts are the same.  I still process, print, and frame all of my photographs.  To this day, I shoot most of my photographs in manual mode, on a tripod, with a hand-held light meter.  I like to tell the camera what I want, not the other way around.

 

The photographics class in high school introduced me to the printing trade, I worked as a photographer and printer off and on for the next fifteen years.  I became very interested in pursuing art and received a BA in Art, with photography, metalsmithing, and wood design as my concentrations.  Currently, I work as a computer tech.  

 

Thanks for taking the time to have a look.  If you have any questions about any of the photographs, please contact me, I'll tell you all about them.
