About Me
I have always been a photographer, or have always wanted to be one. I played in my father's studio as a kid, running under wooden tripods holding view cameras, puzzled at why there were two lenses on a Rolleicord, and why the chemicals in his dark room always had that stink? :o)
In college, I asked Mom to buy me a spanking new Canonet because the accordion-like "folding camera" that I was using for my PhotoJournalism class "looked ancient," and I didn't want my classmates to laugh at me.
As a Creative Director in several ad agencies after college, I was always in ad photographers' faces, wanting to put "my touch." I thank them now for having been soooo patient with me, because when I went into my own Advertising Photography business later on, I met a lot of "smart arsed" clients who reminded me of how "smart-arsed" I surely must have been then. |

About Travel Photography
Travel photography is exciting when your pictures turn out, but disappointing when the colors and photos are not close to what you actually saw. To be a good travel photographer, make sure you always have your camera ready, store it well, and keep extra film and a copy of your camera receipt with you (for customs). Also, include people for interest, but don't pose them in front of landmarks or buildings. When taking landscape pictures, include some of the foreground to add depth to the pictures. Consider taking pictures of signs (e.g., Welcome to Luxor) because they always add good titles, chapters, or divisions in the story of your travels.
