Ever since I was a small child all I wanted to be when I grew up was a photographer. Now, at age 56, I've given up on growing up -- but not on being a photographer.

| At
age 14 I had my own darkroom and at age 17 I was 'Head Photographer' on
the high school annual staff but it seems at that tender young age I
didn't understand the concept of 'tasteful nudes' and thus became the only
'top' photog on the annual staff that ever failed the class.
This brought my education in the arts to an abrupt end so for many years I
took snapshots. For over forty years I've been friends with a single lens reflex camera. It's come a long way from a Pentax with Plus-X or Tri-x and now I feel like I'm finally coming into my own place in time. Blessed Be Adobe for with 'IT' all things are possible. Now I find myself in So. Cal, surrounded by beautiful women and with the maturity to appreciate more than the physical, the time to study my art and the ability to bring them together. Life is good. But when my responsibilities here are complete I'll sail away following the perpetual summer.
