This is what I looked like on the opening at the Gallery. My mom and dad came to see. I usually do better when I aim the camera at myself, maybe I was nervous. It was a good day.

Did the camera make the image or did the photographer? It amazes me that so often, after one enjoys an image they ask, “what camera did you use?” The camera can be important but it’s only a tool. The photographer’s unique vision is far more crucial. If it’s a good image, it’s “what camera?” If it’s a bad image, it’s “who shot that?”
The camera can be important, but so is the lens, the batteries, the strap, tripod, sensor, film, etc. Would anyone think of asking a painter what brush they used?
A camera, while necessary, is a means to an end, but not a creator.
This is not a how-to forum. It’s a WHY thing. Why was this image created? How did we get here? I will provide some technical details here and there, but only when it’s important to the story.
All images were created in-camera. Quite often I do use Camera Raw to set my black and white points, but any effect you think may be there is created by manipulating the camera and/or shooting through things. I use film, digital..any format that I have.
My journey with photography has been a never-ending search for something. Where I used to look for an image, I’ve learned better to see. What if I look for a pumpkin and all that’s there are eggs?

You looked handsome and very self assured. The gallery was wonderful, and we were so happy to see your work! Of course I wanted to take every picuture home with me, but knew it would not be allowed. We are so proud of you!
The gallery and your work.....very impressive! Thank you for inviting us!
Where was your clipboard? You may have been nervous but it never shows.
I'm with you when you take most of your images, I see them as you sort through them on the computer, but when they are printed, matted, and framed...WOW!!! AMAZING
