BIOGRAPHY
My photo interest started while stationed in Izmir Turkey with the Air Force in the early 1960's. This led to a brief camera shop job in Rapid City SD, and to street photography in Seattle through the 70's with Leica M2 35/2, and Pentax Spotmatic 85/1.8. With a used Pentax 6x7 came a shift to travel and landscapes. I started art classes at university concentrating on photography and art history. Soon a new Minolta CLE 40/2 brought a project to contrast/confuse display mannequins with real humans. And the big Pentax helped show how solid and real shadows can be. I spent a lot of time in the darkroom... and had a couple of shows with the results. After a dry spell in the 90's, I came back with medium format and rangefinder film cameras and "environmental" portrait/snapshots. Digital Leica M&S now, for travel and documentary projects.
