I've been interested in photography
since 1945 when my Dad gave me the simple camera he carried through the South
Pacific during WWII. I was
basically a snapshooter through high school and
college, then my interest intensified when I got involved with several camera
clubs. I progressed through slide
and print competitions, and finally into judging for the New Jersey Federation
of Camera Clubs. After several
years of that, I decided to leave the world of clubs and competitions to
concentrate on my personal interests.
In the latter
phase of my engineering career I became a research scientist investigating
possible future applications for the then-emerging Internet. Since this involved color images, I
was introduced to digital image processing and became an early user of
Photoshop. This meshed nicely
with my hobby, and led me into printing with inkjet printers. Better prints, with far less hassle,
than those from my wet darkroom phase. Upon retirement in 1999, I enhanced my
home digital darkroom and have been making prints for exhibition and
occasional sale ever since.
The images in
this gallery are a sample of my work since our 50th in 2011. I do a lot of
landscape work,
many of the shots involving water. I enjoy going to antique auto shows
to photograph
rare and unusual old vehicles. I don't do portraits per se, but sometimes
find interesting
people in public places and especially re-enactors at historical museums.
And sometimes I
just find interesting shapes and objects.
