Just a guy with a camera.
I have been told that a photographer should concentrate on one genre of photography so they can excel at their craft. If I would have followed that advice, I probably would have put my camera down along time ago. I guess if I needed to earn an income from this art form, that advice would be prudent. My passion started as a youth, when I thought I would become a sports photographer. My father had just showed me how to use his Yashica 35mm camera. Thanks Pops! Then as I got serious in my late teens, I gravitated towards scenics. I never really thought of photography as a career. I WISH I COULD TRAVEL BACK IN TIME!! I should have taken the hint from a prescient college counselor who once asked me why I was toiling in the engineering program when I listed sports, photography and the outdoors as my true passions on his little survey tool for counseling students. Come On! I didn’t think anyone could really have a passion for Bio-engineering. It was just the hot field at the time. That’s why two years later, I was out of the program and wouldn’t touch a camera for 15 more years. Fast forward to the year 2000 and I have been making up for lost time ever since. Since I am quite the gear head, I have never really struggled with the technical part of the image capture. This is why I like to shoot any subject you can point a lens at. I love the tools. Now it is the artistic aspects of of the craft I spend my time on. Who would have thought that Fibonacci and I would cross paths again. Not that college counselor I’m sure.
