When I was in sixth grade, what I'd come to call my "vocation of destiny", began. My Dad taught me how to use his Leica 35mm film camera and a world of wonder opened. At 15, I walked into a darkroom and discovered how to expose the light. I could share what I saw.
The rangefinder would become my frame: People being themselves, invitations to walk into a landscape. Create
a three dimensional experience on a piece of acetate.
In 1979, I started one of the first photo labs in Sonoma County, CA. Open tray B&W, drum processed color, Cibachrome, archival printing & custom developed C-41 as the digital age inched forward. I remember the day I couldn't imagine a world without Kodak.
With each Sunset Portrait and Wine Country Wedding, film was being challenged. I carried two cameras.
My trusty Mamiya RB67, always backed up using the latest in digital. Eager to see what megapixel wouId
come next, I was watching the changing of the guard
from a front row seat.
Today, I capture images on mirrorless cameras & smart phones. And, faithfully married to ©Adobe Photoshop, have a lab in my laptop. Artwork begins its design using ©Photomatix Pro & ©Adobe Creative Suite. I settle into the zen of adding a watercolor technique for a stained glass window impression.
Currently, I'm collaborating with photographer, Susan Candee, whose images capture the heart of her travels.
