Biography

I operated a B&W and color darkroom for many years and particularly enjoyed creating large black and white prints from my 35mm and medium format negatives. I spent many relaxing and sometimes  frustrating hours in my small but well equipped darkroom.

I enjoy adventure travel (and travel in general) and, of course, my photographic equipment travels with me. The accumulation of many transparencies during these travels led to the production of a number of  programs which I present to clubs and organizations in the area.

My journey with digital imaging began in 1990 when I accepted an offer from my processor to have my images scanned to a floppy disk. Currently I shoot both digitally and using film but increasingly my emphasis has been on digital photography. Over the years I learned many things about digital imaging the hard way and enjoy passing on what I have learned to others through courses I teach at Three  Rivers Community College in Norwich and at the Granite Street Gallery in New London. The courses include an introduction to photography, digital imaging and Photoshop.
